Plymouth OES Chapter 163 Order of the Eastern Star VTG Pairpoint Glass Cup Plate

This Pairpoint Glass cup plate was commissioned by Plymouth Chapter 163 of the Order of the Eastern Star. In the center of the design is the image of Plymouth Rock. Pairpoint cup plate number 694 was pressed in 1993. The last photo is only for size illustration. Handcrafted on Cape Cod using time-honored techniques, these 3.5 inch cup plates have subtle variations that highlight the artisan's skill. Each piece 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.
