Covered Figural Dish

Atterbury and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark red glass dish in the shape of a duck. The dish has a textured, diamond-shaped pattern on its body and a ridged edge around the tail. The duck's head is raised, and it has blue glass eyes. The beak is a matching dark red color. The dish is shiny and reflective, with a subtle shadow cast to the right. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom.
