Description : Clear non-flint pressed glass plate, with small ribbed flange handles. Rim pattern consists of a band of beaded flowerheads on a stippled ground. Cavetto design features a band of stippled triangles. The centre of the plate has a view of the desert with two palm trees, pyramid, and a man leading a camel. Interestingly a more elaborate version of this view appears on an earthenware transfer-printed plate: Riley's Semi-china. Quite different in style to other designs of American pressed glass. The existence of several variations in design may indicate more than one manufacturer. Also referred to as Parthenon. There are three versions of this pattern. One has the "Ruins of Parthenon" printed under the view. A second shows a palm tree and a sphinx, and a third shows a camel, pyramid and palm trees. Decoration of flatware appear to feature one or other of the designs. (per Kathleen Campbell, Curator Emerita)
