25. Basket of fruit on sides with scrolled ends terminating in leaves, two rosettes on side, leaves and drilled scrolls on feet—bottom with 11 crossed bars—a very popular design at the works—first period— A—Opalescent. B—Green. C—Blue. To meet the demand this design was a frequent repeat so that fine specimens in color and pairs are not uncommon. 26. Diamond all-over design with deeply scalloped edge with row of dots. Unusual base with claw feet and scalloped apron. This ground work has a pattern of N. E. G. and is rare in this form of Sandwich. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Illustration: PLATE XVI] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 27. Sleigh shape, very shallow, grilled convex base, rope ends, green tinge. 28. Same except sleigh on runners. Not shown. 29. Scrolled ends and feet, crown with feathers and star on side, band of stippling below crown. 30. Petalled and looped clear glass on standard six petals-period 1850. This must not be confused with the heavy late salts in this pattern. 31. Chicken salts period 1860. A tiny glass chicken with ball in beak, the back hollowed out to form the salt, receptacle white glass. Not shown. A—Vaselene yellow. B—Blue. C—Clear white. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _VICTORIAN ANIMALS_ For the West Mustard Company about 1870 the Sandwich works made a number of designs consisting of chickens and other animals on nests of semi opaque white glass. Many of these had glass eyes and the less common ones found to-day are in colors, a remarkable blue predominating. These were filled with their products, labeled with a red and orange label and sold to the public destined later to become useful receptacles. Many collectors of these objects confuse the marbled glass which comes in mauve and white and ocre and white in many designs similar to the above with the Sandwich of this late period. This marbled glass in Whieldon effects was made at Phoenixville, Pa., and may be put in the same class as the advertising of the West Mustard Co. During this last period of the Sandwich Glass Works their products became cheapened to meet the demand of commercial advertising and an endless number of cheap glass premiums were sent out to all parts of the country in the era just preceding the soap wrapper and the patent medicine man. An interesting bit of information in regard to the opalescent edges often found on pieces of Victorian glass is that this opalescence was produced by re-heating the edges to a dull red heat after it was molded.
