Westmoreland Quilted Pattern White Milk Glass Covered Candy Dish

This item is a vintage Westmoreland Specialty Glass Company covered candy dish, identified as being made from pressed white milk glass. The vessel features the distinctive 'Quilted' or 'Diamond' pattern, characterized by a series of raised, geometric diamond-shaped bosses that create a textured, three-dimensional exterior. The dish is spherical in form and rests on a low, circular pedestal base. It includes a matching domed lid topped with a pointed, multi-faceted finial that echoes the geometric motif of the body. Of particular note are the delicate, hand-painted floral accents (likely roses or rosebuds) scattered across several of the diamond panels; these are applied enamels that show minor fading consistent with age. This piece likely dates from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s), a peak period for Westmoreland milk glass production. The condition appears to be excellent for its age, showing the characteristic creamy opacity and satin-like finish of high-quality milk glass. There are no immediately visible cracks or large chips in the provided images, though there is a soft patina of dust in the deep crevices of the pattern. The interior of the base may contain the 'WG' stacked logo hallmark, though it is not clearly displayed in this view. The craftsmanship is typical of the high standards of the Westmoreland factory, with clean mold lines and consistent glass density.
