Heart Shaped Center Handled Server Ebony Black Glass
I love center handled servers, they have everything I like so much about depression glass:
- Vast array of colors and shapes
- Beautiful
- Unique.
- Entrancing to hold and think of the people before you who held and treasured this.
- Did I mention beautiful?
This ebony black one is especially different. It has 8 sides with dramatic points and the sweetest heart shaped handle. I’m not terribly fond of opaque glass but I could not resist this at an estate sale. That heart shaped handle plus the beautiful shape and clear shiny surface won me over.
Do you worry a piece like this just sit in your china cupboard? Center handled servers are useful and start conversations. Put your cupcakes on this or arrange your cookies just so. These were marketed as sandwich trays – and we have moved beyond serving dainty cucumber morsels to including lunch sandwiches. Even peanut butter and jelly will look great on such a unique plate.
This particular piece is from Imperial Glass, their line 725. I could identify it by the pretty heart shaped handle.
We have several center handled servers including this dramatic ebony one from Imperial Glass and others in amber, green, topaz and crystal in our store Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass. Come take a look.
