Westmoreland Milk Glass Della Robbia Fruit and Grape Covered Candy Dish

Westmoreland Specialty Company was a prominent American glass manufacturer, established in Grapeville, Pennsylvania, in 1889. The 'Della Robbia' pattern, named after the famous Italian Renaissance sculptor, is characterized by its rich, detailed relief work depicting fruits, grapes, and foliage. This particular pattern was popular in the mid-20th century, especially for serving pieces like candy dishes, compotes, and butter dishes. The use of milk glass, with its opaque white finish, enhances the three-dimensional quality of the embossed designs, giving them a sculptural appearance. These pieces are sought after by collectors for their aesthetic appeal and nostalgic charm.
