Early-American pattern glass souvenirs from the Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Eight items, offered individually, including a one two-piece covered dish.
All but one piece are hand engraved with . . .
World's Fair
1893
All but one piece includes a person's name or reference to a person (such as "Mother").
The piece that doesn't have "World's Fair 1893" on it does have the name "Anna." It's a perfect little gift for the Anna in your life.
The spectacular piece that says "Mother" is perfect for . . . you know. And then there is "Mamma" and "Mama."
And if you were looking for a gift for someone named "Mrs. F. Green," then you've hit the jackpot. Same with "Daisy" and a couple of others.
