A Swirl of History: Vintage Brown & White Slag Glass Miniature Handled Cup
Capture a piece of American glass history with this gorgeous, unsigned miniature handled cup, crafted in the beautiful Slag Glass technique. Also affectionately known as "End-of-Day" glass, each piece is unique, featuring a stunning, intentional swirl of colors—in this case, rich, opaque chocolate brown and creamy milk white.
This delightful piece measures approximately 3-1/2 inches tall and is finished with two charming side handles, giving it the stately form of a miniature urn or loving cup. It makes a perfect addition to a curio cabinet, a unique toothpick holder, or a beautiful decorative accent on a shelf.
Details & Condition:
Dimensions: Approximately 3.5" tall, 2.25" rim diameter, 4" handle-to-handle width.
Maker: Unsigned, but strongly reminiscent of quality mid-century American pressed glass makers like Imperial, who popularized "Caramel Slag."
Condition Note: MINT, NO DEFECTS. This piece is in mint condition. The high quality is evident throughout, and there are no chips, cracks, or repairs.
Important Clarity on Manufacturing: The feature pointed out by the pen in the photo is not a defect or chip. It is a common, natural occurrence in pressed glass production where an air bubble formed within the glass and the air escaped during cooling. This results in a tiny, smooth indentation that proves the authenticity of the glassmaking process. It is expected in this type of vintage item and confirms its mint, original state.
(The Value Justification section remains the same, pricing at $35.00 with included Priority Shipping and Insurance.)
This revised description strongly asserts the MINT condition while preemptively educating the buyer about the natural glassmaking feature.
