Tiara Glass Sandwich Pattern Lid

This is a vintage lid for a clear pressed glass candy dish or honey jar, featuring the iconic 'Sandwich' pattern. The lid is circular and made of clear flint glass with a raised decorative handle or finial that has a scalloped or beaded top edge. The primary design consists of repeating heart-shaped shields containing floral or leaf motifs, surrounded by a densely stippled or 'bubbly' ground characteristic of Early American Prespaced (EAPG) or mid-century revival glass. Interspersed between the hearts are delicate scrollwork and floral vine details. This specific pattern was famously produced by the Indiana Glass Company for Tiara Exclusives starting in the 1970s, though it pays homage to 19th-century Boston & Sandwich designs. The material is heavy and exhibits high clarity, typical of machine-pressed soda-lime glass. Condition appears stable with no visible large chips or cracks from this angle; however, light scuffing on the inner rim from use is common for pieces of this age. The craftsmanship displays the uniform precision of 20th-century mold production, making it a classic example of American heritage-style kitchenware.
