EAPG Clear Round Covered Butter Dish in great condition. It measures 5.5″ high x 8″ diameter.

The term “EAPG” (Early American Pattern Glass) is applied to pressed glass tableware (occasionally including some blown glassware), made in sets, made within the United States most heavily in the period 1850-1915, and carrying some type of recognizable pattern (motif, theme or design raised in the glass) that was repeated, often with some slight variations, from piece to piece. Some EAPG “sets” may have consisted of only a very few pieces, such as the “basic four” or “table set”: sugar bowl, creamer, spooner (spoonholder) and butter dish.
