Description:
This lovely glass dish set, Meadow Gold service for 8, in a golden berry design with 22K gold trim was made by the Federal Glass Company in the late 1950's early 1960's and is marked with the F in a Sheild/Heat Proof/USA on the bottom. Federal Glass was established in Columbus Ohio in 1900 by George and Robert J. Beatty, from the successful Beatty glass manufacturing family. In 1901 they advertised only tumblers, and in 1906 they were listed as manufacturers of bottles and jars. In the 1940s and 50s Federal continued to produce tableware sets of colored pressed glass, like their "Heritage" pattern (1940-55) and "Star" which they made in the 1950s. Their "Park Avenue" pattern was made from 1941 through to the 1970s. They even produced "heat proof" sets with gold decoration, and their "Golden Glory" pattern (white with gold leaf sprays) was first made 1959-66 and then re-introduced in 1978. By 1980 Federal Glass, then part of a larger packaging and paper company, was closed down.
There are 47 pieces in all to the set, beautifully done the golden berry design on a white background, the set could be used every day and dresses up any Holiday table, the only thing missing is the cover to the sugar bowl. The set includes 8-dinner plates that measure 9 7/8 inches in diameter, 8-soup bowls that measure 8 inches across the rim, 8-small fruit/dessert bowls that measure 1 3/4 inches high and 4 3/4 inches across the rim, 8-saucers that measure 5 3/4 inches in diameter, 11-cups (3 extra) that measure 2 1/2 inches high and 3 3/4 inches across the rim, 1-round meat platter that measures 11 inches in diameter, 1-round vegetable bowl that measures 2 3/4 inches high and 8 1/2 inches across the rim, 1-sugar bowl, minus the lid, and 1 creamer. As you can see in the pictures the set is in very good condition with out chips or cracks, some of the gold trim shows age wear from years of washing, mostly on the vegetable bowl rim. I do have additional pictures if you need to see them. A wonderful addition to any Vintage Kitchen or Federal Glass Collection. SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed.
