Up for sale is a vintage 1981 crystal glass cup plate, with an individually hand-pressed image of aPalmer Cox Browniein the center. The diameter of the round,amethystcup plate measures approximately 3.5 inches across. This is an official New Bedford Glass Museum cup plate, and is the sixth in a series of designs associated with glass making. Palmer Cox created the Brownies in 1880, and Pairpoint used the quaint figures on a number of glass lines as well as silver-plated items. The cup plate design is based on a Brownie sketch by George C. Avila.The collectible piece was made by the Pairpoint Glass Company, in Sagamore, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Included with the cup plate is the original Pairpoint Glass Company sticker; the originalinformational card, printed onbeigecard stock; and the original card board box packaging with cotton batting.

Cup plates were widely used in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Hot tea was served in handleless cups and poured into saucers to cool. Tea was drunk from the saucer while the cup was place on a cup plate to protect the table.

The cup plate is in virtually mint condition, with no cracks, chips, scratches, stains, discoloration, repairs nor any other damage that I can detect. The box is in near mint condition as well. However, the informational cardmay have some slight warping to the card stock.
