Jeannette's Anniversary line originally started in the late 1940s. In the 1970s it was reissued with an iridescent carnival-like finish in a fairly heavy pressed-glass. The design's motif is pressed rays with small diamonds.

This 1970s Jeannette dish features 3 pedestal feet, a ruffled and scalloped rim with a hobnail design, and a prism-ribbed exterior. The color is an iridized light peachy amber. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or other damage observed.

This dish can be used for candy, nuts, sides, or sauces on your table. Or, use it as a trinket or catchall anywhere in your home. It makes a perfect hostess or housewarming gift, or gift it to a Jeannette or Carnival glass collector.

HISTORY: The Jeanette Glass Company began in 1887 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania as a simple bottle company. The company produced handmade bottles under the business name “Jeanette Bottle Works Company” for two years. In 1889 they took advantage of modern machinery advances and became known as Jeanette Glass Company, the name the company retained for most of its history.

For collectors of vintage Jeannette glass, its many lines of glass for the home are the most popular. Like many manufacturers of the early 20th century, Jeannette produced Depression glass, iridescent Carnival glass, variations of Anchor Hocking's Jadeite, and milk glass. Jeannette patterns took on an astounding number of shapes serving every tableware purpose imaginable. Jeannette also made scores of animal-themed novelty items and accessories such as powder boxes, small pieces such as toothpick holders, and souvenirs, particularly in Carnival glass, which lent itself to impulse purchases at gift shops.

By 1961, Jeannette was so financially healthy, it was able to purchase the McKee factory, also in the town of Jeannette, which gave the combined companies even more manufacturing might. But by 1983, tastes had changed, and Jeannette finally shut its door, just five years shy of celebrating its centennial.

ADDITIONAL SHIPPING INFORMATION: • Items are shipped by USPS Ground Advantage with standard $100 insurance unless otherwise agreed upon. • Multiple purchases will have a combined, lower shipping rate. • Because I primarily use recycled materials to securely package your valuable items, accurately calculating shipping costs in advance is challenging. While I may initially estimate high, any shipping cost overages of $1 or more will be promptly reimbursed. • If an item is broken during the shipping process, the buyer is responsible for submitting a claim to the USPS. Please ensure you keep the label/receipt and all original packaging to demonstrate proof. Refer to the USPS website or your local post office to obtain a claim form.

IMPORTANT DDV SHOP NOTE: • All antique/vintage items in my shop are sold "as-is/as-found" and priced accordingly for their condition. I only complete a light cleaning on items allowing new owners to determine the level of aging and character they wish to preserve. This includes all metal patinas and discolorations. • All antique/vintage items are by definition “used” and usually show signs of age and/or use. Buying vintage items online assumes some risk. Be sure to view all photos as they are part of the description and condition. I do my best to provide descriptions and/or photos of any wear, damage, or manufacturing flaws I find to help you make your purchase decision. I do not accept returns unless the buyer can prove that the items weren't accurately described or photographed. • I personally research each item I sell and do my best to provide accurate information in my listings. I am a hobbyist vintage collector but not an expert, so if I missed something and you would like additional information please contact me before you buy.
