| POWDER & SHOT is traditionally thought to have been made by the Boston Sandwich Glass Co. ca. 1870s. The clear covered sugar has a metal finial. That's right; it is a "make do". How they got it accomplished is an art unto itself. $115 The pattern is not reported to have been made in milk glass so the 'open' sugar on the right is a rarity. $185 |
