Produced in England by the SOWERBY GLASSWORKS, in pale green frosted uranium glass. This exceptionally detailed SWAN figural butter dish, known as the Rosalin Swan, was first introduced circa 1880 and remained in production until 1920. These early examples differ from those produced post 1920 as the gap between its lower neck and body was not filled in. After 1920, these later versions have this gap filled in with glass, which is less difficult to produce and is somewhat less elegant. Measuring 8 inches long by 5 1/2 inches deep x 5 inches tall and, with the exception of a chip on the rim in the front of the lid where it fits into the base and two tiny nicks to the rim of the base, both lid and base are in excellent condition. It is rare to find this intricately designed Swan figural butter dish in Vaseline uranium glass, especially with the delicate gap between the elegant neck and body intact. With the exception of only one chip on the rim of the lid and two minute nicks on the inner rim of the base both the butter dish and its swan lid are in excellent condition.
