Some collectors of Lion glass believe this was originally a jar lid. I have not seen any documentation of the maker or original use. It is a superb piece of glass. You will find in raised letters on the center back the word "PENDING". My assumption is that the patent was pending on this design. Great detail in eyes, nose and mouth. Frosted glass. 3 ˝" d. x 1 7/8" h. Three miniscule flakes on the front at 4 and 5 o’clock. (#4860)
