Mr and Mrs Quack Thornton Burgess Mallard Duck Art Glass VTG Pairpoint Cup Plate

Description: Mr and Mrs Quack Thornton Burgess Mallard Duck Pairpoint Glass Cup Plate Bird Home Decor Vintage Window Decoration Handcrafted on Cape Cod, Made in USA This charming crystal vintage Pairpoint Glass cup plate depicts the beloved mallard ducks, Mr. and Mrs. Quack, at the edge of a pond. The Thornton Burgess Society chose these characters because they were in constant residence on the grounds of the Burgess Museum and Green Briar Nature Center on Cape Cod. The Quacks were featured in "The Adventures of Poor Mrs. Quack" in 1917 after Thornton Burgess was asked to help in the plight of the Mallard duck. The pressing for plate number 65 began in 1979 and ended in 1981, with 12,340 plates pressed. This whimsical cup plate makes a thoughtful baby shower gift when paired with a classic Thornton Burgess book. Burgess was the creator of Peter Rabbit and his animal friends in the Dear Old Briar Patch, the Smiling Pool, the Green Meadow, and the Laughing Brook. The Thornton Burgess Society, which ran the former Burgess museum in Sandwich, Massachusetts, sold cup plates bearing the imprint of the characters to help fund the museum. Handcrafted on Cape Cod using time-honored techniques, these 3.5 inch cup plates have subtle variations that highlight the artisan's skill. Each cup plate is crafted using a mold created with a hammer and chisel, and then pressed with molten glass using an antique press. This manufacturing process results in cup plates that are similar yet possess their own distinctive characteristics. Look closely and you'll find the artisan's initials and the Pairpoint trademark within the design. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these versatile art glass pieces can add functionality to your home, serving as catchall dishes for organizing small items or ring dishes to keep your treasured jewelry safe.
