Manufacturer: Coats & Clark
Attractive glass tray or dish with colorful paint or enamel distributed by Coats & Clark when celebrating their 150th Anniversary in 1962. The famous sewing thread maker decorated this tray with symbolic pictures from the history of thread use on the topside, with a lengthy written description of the "Story of Thread" along with line drawings on the bottomside. This is where they also placed the Coats & Clark seal and dates.
Rectangular, measuring 9 inches long x 7 inches wide and sitting about 5/8 inch in height. The glass is a dark, clear color which we believe is called "smoke glass", so you can "see through" to the decorations on each side. The rectangular shape actually dips in slightly on the middle of each side to add interest, and curves up slightly from the underpart where it sits to create a slightly flared effect. We've provided several images and close-ups...please note that the white "hot spots" are lighting reflection from the camera on the glossy surface.
Very nice overall condition, but not mint. There is a tiny chip on the underside and side edge near the point in two of the corners, but you don't see these from the topside. There are also a number of tiny scratches, rubbed marks, dots, etc. -- but nothing major that really jumps out at you when you look at the piece on a table. Coloring is still all bright and pretty.
A highly usable piece which would make an interesting addition to any collection of vintage sewing items or sewing collectibles, or a nice gift for anyone who likes to sew or is a seamstress or tailor. |
