Each dish is molded as a real fan: a spread of fine radiating sticks at the narrow end, a raised rivet boss where the pivot would sit, and a curved loop of glass standing in for the handle. Above the sticks, the whole leaf of the fan is filled with Daisy and Button — alternating fields of many-pointed stars and faceted round buttons pressed deep into the glass. The clear glass carries a faint natural green cast in raking light, and the density of the pattern means the set throws light in every direction at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaisy and Button is arguably the most successful pattern in the history of American pressed glass. It appeared in the 1880s, when factories from Pennsylvania through the Ohio Valley were competing to give ordinary households the look of expensive cut crystal at a fraction of the price, and the design succeeded because it does the job better than almost any other: the deep-cut stars and raised buttons catch light from every angle. It was produced in enormous variety across the following century, in clear and in color, by more makers than can be counted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fan is a period signature of its own. Through the 1870s and 1880s Western taste was gripped by Japonisme, and the folding fan turned up everywhere — in painting, on wallpaper, on textiles, and pressed into glass. A relish or hors d'oeuvre service in four fan segments that close into a circle belongs squarely to that vocabulary, and the form was revived and reissued repeatedly through the twentieth century. This set carries no maker's mark, which is normal: pressed glass of this kind was identified by catalog number and paper label rather than a molded mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of four relish or hors d'oeuvre dishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican pressed glass; maker unattributed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour fan-shaped wedges with scalloped outer rims, molded fan sticks, rivet bosses, and looped handles; assemble into a round segmented tray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear pressed glass in the Daisy and Button pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnmarked, as pressed table glass of this kind typically was\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ec. 1930–1970; pattern introduced in the 1880s and produced across a century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery good with age.

That colour is not stain.

Around 1928 a Missouri jeweller named \u003cstrong\u003eOtto Rohwedder\u003c\/strong\u003e got an automatic bread slicer working, and the bakeries that adopted it advertised the result as the greatest forward step the baking industry had taken since bread was wrapped — which is where the phrase everybody still uses comes from. Within a few years commercial loaves arrived sliced as a matter of course, and the uneven hand-cut slice began to look like a failure rather than a fact of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA device like this is how a home baker met that standard without a machine. It was also, very often, a shop-class or home-workshop project: the design is simple, it demands accurate repetitive layout, and it turns out a useful object at the end, which is exactly what a manual training assignment or a woodworking-magazine plan was built to do. Quartersawn oak is a considered choice of stock for one — harder, more stable across the grain, and better looking than it needed to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThere is one wartime footnote that belongs to this object more than to almost anything else in a kitchen. On \u003cstrong\u003e18 January 1943\u003c\/strong\u003e, Food Administrator \u003cstrong\u003eClaude R. Wickard\u003c\/strong\u003e banned the sale of sliced bread in the United States — partly to hold down flour prices, partly because a sliced loaf needed roughly twice the waxed paper of a whole one and paraffin was a war material. It was deeply unpopular, sales fell, the paper savings never materialised, and the order was rescinded on \u003cstrong\u003e8 March 1943\u003c\/strong\u003e. For those seven weeks, every American who wanted an even slice was back to cutting it themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis example carries \u003cstrong\u003eno maker's mark, stamp, brand, or label\u003c\/strong\u003e anywhere on the base, the walls, or the underside, and it is not attributed here.

A warm loaf compresses under the knife, the blade wanders, and the far end of the loaf ends up a wedge. A cradle with matched kerfs on both walls fixes the blade in one plane and takes the skill out of it. It works on sourdough, sandwich loaves, banana bread, and anything else that needs cutting square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOn a counter it earns its place when it is not working, which is more than most kitchen tools manage. Standing empty it reads as sculpture — two fans of parallel lines above a plain oak tray — and the quartersawn figure gives it a surface worth looking at.

Take the walls out of the base, brush the crumbs from the kerfs with a dry pastry brush or a stiff dry bristle brush, and wipe the surfaces with a barely damp cloth, drying immediately. If it needs more than that, use a very little mild soap on a damp cloth and dry it at once. Two or three times a year, wipe it with food-safe mineral oil or a beeswax and mineral-oil board conditioner, let it soak in, and buff off what remains; that is what keeps oak from drying out and checking. Keep it away from a radiator, a heat vent and direct sun. Store it dry and, if you have the space, with the walls lifted out so air moves through the joints. Do not oil it with a cooking oil — olive, vegetable and nut oils go rancid in the wood and the smell does not come out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48030709842025,"sku":"VE-0666","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/D735BFF5-17BC-4530-AFD8-169D31C9DF7E.jpg?v=1789015821"},{"product_id":"signed-cheese-board-with-real-strawberries-and-citrus-cast-in-resin-turned-wood-with-handle-c-1965-1980","title":"Signed Cheese Board with Real Strawberries and Citrus Cast in Resin, Turned Wood with Handle, c. 1965–1980","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA round wooden serving board turned from a single blank, with a shaped handle rising off one side like a skillet's.

Set into it, alternating the whole way round, are \u003cstrong\u003ewhole strawberries and half-slices of citrus — real ones\u003c\/strong\u003e — flooded over with clear casting resin so they sit permanently under a glassy surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLook closely and there is no doubt they are real.

From the 1960s into the 1970s, clear polyester casting resin became widely available to studios and home workshops for the first time, and an entire craft grew up around it almost overnight: real flowers, leaves, fruit, coins, butterflies and insects suspended in poured plastic, made into paperweights, trivets, table tops, lamps, and serving boards exactly like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe material identifies itself. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is polyester resin, not modern epoxy\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the two age very differently: polyester ambers steadily over decades and traps a scatter of fine bubbles at the boundary where it meets whatever is embedded, and both are visible here. Modern epoxy stays near water-clear far longer and is formulated specifically to avoid that bubbling. The fruit itself has oxidised to near-black over many years, which is not something a recently made piece can imitate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTaken together — polyester rather than epoxy, decades of ambering, and fruit that has darkened all the way through — the range is \u003cstrong\u003ec. 1965–1980\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe board is \u003cstrong\u003esigned\u003c\/strong\u003e on the rim in black, which places it as studio work rather than anonymous factory output.

A rope moulding is a stone and woodcarving motif that runs back through the Renaissance and the Romanesque, and translating it into twisted wire is a way of getting that ornament at a fraction of the cost.

Never polish it. Dust it with a dry soft cloth or a soft brush worked into the braid, where dust collects and where a cloth will not reach. If it needs more, use a barely damp cloth and dry it at once. Keep it out of the dishwasher entirely, and do not soak it — water sitting in the crossings and under the joints is what starts corrosion beneath the plating. For food, line it with a napkin, a cloth, or paper rather than setting anything directly on the wire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48030892425321,"sku":"VE-0675","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/28E10892-5B21-4372-8EBF-23A3223FB906.jpg?v=1789021119"},{"product_id":"sezzatini-firenze-gilt-and-cream-florentine-serving-tray-c-1975-2000","title":"Sezzatini Firenze Gilt and Cream Florentine Serving Tray, c. 1975–2000","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large Florentine serving tray with a shaped outline, a pale cream well, and a raised gilt border of fruit, leaves and blossom worked around the rim and gathered into a swag at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ornament is the piece. Pomegranates, apples and curling leaves stand in deep relief off the surface, undercut enough to throw real shadow, and the gilding sits over them so the high points read bright and the hollows go to a deeper bronze.

The firm describes what it makes as Florentine wooden trays decorated according to the traditional techniques of fourteenth century craftsmen, created and decorated entirely by hand, and it is a specialist rather than a general giftware maker. It carries over a hundred and fifty tray forms and adds new ones each year, which is a scale of specialisation very few decorative houses reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique is the old Florentine one and it is visible in the object. A wooden blank is built up with gesso, the ornament is modelled in relief, and the whole is laid with gold and then toned back. It is the same sequence used on picture frames and altar furniture, applied to a tray, and it is why the chip at the edge shows white rather than bare wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn dating, the firm gives the floor. Sezzatini marks fifty years of production around 2021, which places its founding at roughly 1971, so nothing carrying this label predates that. The paper label format, with the country of origin and the hand painted claim printed together, and the honest wear to the gilding at the edges and across the back, place it in the earlier decades of that run rather than the recent ones. Nothing here supports a tighter bracket and none is claimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat can be said flatly is that it is a real Florentine tray from a real Florentine tray works, not a gilt finish applied to an import. The gesso ground, the depth of the relief and the gilded verso are all things that cost money to do and are the first things left out when a piece is made cheaply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ec. 1975–2000.
