Tiara Indiana Glass Amberina Sandwich Pattern Covered Butter Dish

This is a vintage two-piece covered butter dish manufactured by Indiana Glass in the 'Amberina' color palette, specifically for the Tiara Exclusives line. The item features the classic 'Sandwich' pattern, characterized by intricate scrolled floral and leaf embossing. The color exhibits a striking ombre effect, transitioning from a deep ruby red at the top finial and edges to a vibrant amber-yellow toward the base. This coloring is achieved by reheating specific areas of the glass containing heat-sensitive chemicals. The dish consists of a rectangular base with a wide, scalloped rim and a matching domed lid with a faceted geometric finial. The lid features vertical ribbing along the lower section, contrasting with the ornate floral presswork above. Given its production history, this piece dates roughly from the 1970s. The glass appears to be in good vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks, maintaining a high glossy luster typical of pressed glass from this era. The complex 'Sandwich' texture and the vivid color transition are key indicators of quality for this specific collectible line.
