1899 EAPG No. 225 Card Receiver or Nut Dish - West Virginia Glass Mfg Co

Beautiful patterned dish with the gold flash edge. It looks AMAZING for its age (~120 years!). The sides are scalloped and curved up. I believe it is a card receiver, but it could also could be a nut dish or bon bon. With its unusual shape, it is the perfect size to hold trinkets, jewelry or a candle. A unique and rare find, it also makes the perfect gift for the someone special in your life.
The glass is old and has Manganese in it (it will glow green with a 365nm UV light).
