CAMBRIDGE GLASS GOLD KRYSTOL 3400 NUT DISH OPEN SALT CELLAR APPLE BLOSSOM ETCH

Description

CAMBRIDGE GLASS GOLD KRYSTOL 3400 NUT DISH OPEN SALT CELLAR APPLE BLOSSOM ETCH
This lovely elegant little salt cellar or individual nut dish was made by the Cambridge Glass Company, formerly of Cambridge, Ohio.
It is part of their # 3400 Dinnerware line.
This one is made in Cambridge’s Gold Krystol colored glass and is deep plate etched with the “Apple Blossom” pattern etching.
These are not easy pieces to find with the colored glass and the deep plate etching patterns.
This one is clearly marked with the Cambridge triangle C mark on the underside.
The piece in my photos is the actual piece you will receive.
Please be sure to read the “Age and Condition” paragraphs below.
I am gradually selling my salt cellar and individual nut dish collection that at one time was over 1,800 pieces.
This piece has been in my collection since 1985.
Specifically, this piece is the # 3400/71 - 3” Individual Nut Dish.
It is pictured on page 31-4 (from 1931) of the 1930-1934 Cambridge Catalog Reprint and on page 148-A of the 1949 THRU 1953 Reprint.
The “Apple Blossom” etching is pictured on pages 1 thru 9 (from 1930) of the 1930-1934 Cambridge Catalog Reprint book.
This same shape piece is also pictured twice, as Photos # 411 and # 627, in the book
5,000 Open Salts
by William Heacock & Patricia Johnson.
These little nut dishes make a wonderful addition to a salt dip collection or would make an excellent collection all their own.
In my opinion, the form, shape and proportion of these little pieces are just wonderful.
With the variety of colors that Cambridge made these in, coupled with all their different etchings, gold decorations and cuttings you can put together a collection of just these that would number 30 to 40 or more different variations.
They really make a neat collection!
