Covered Figural Dish

Atterbury and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Purple glass dish in the shape of a duck. The dish has a textured, feather-like design on its body and a ridged edge around the top. The duck's head is raised, with a long beak and yellow eyes. The body of the duck is solid, with no visible opening, but appears to be hollow. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow underneath the dish. The dish is by Atterbury and Company.
