Interpretive Notes
Celery was a luxury item at the beginning of the 1800s and placed in a tall container at the center of the dining table. By the end of the century celery became inexpensive and common. Its loss of status is reflected in the shape of the broad, shallow bowls and trays, placed at the corner of the table.
Physical DescriptionColorless lead glass; blown, tooled, cut, polished. Oval tray with sides that curl up slightly; cut in a trellis-like pattern of squares with hobstars in each space and a rim of large and small scallops.
