Description

This set of opaque green kitchenware was manufactured by the McKee Glass Company. The items are made of Jadeite glass, often referred to as Skokie Green, which contains uranium and exhibits a bright green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. Each piece is formed from pressed glass. The bases are marked with an embossed circular seal containing the letters MCK. The collection includes a rectangular tray with decorative tab handles, a round bowl with a rolled rim, and a round refrigerator dish or custard cup with a corresponding flat lid. The glass features a subtle marbled or swirled opacity characteristic of mid-century jadeite production.

Rectangular tray: 8 inches in length
Round bowl: 4.5 inches in diameter
Lidded dish: 4 inches in diameter
Lidded dish: 2.5 inches in height.

The rectangular tray has a visible hairline crack along the upper rim. All pieces exhibit minor surface scratches and light wear on the bases and interior surfaces consistent with age and domestic use. No significant chips or restorations are detected.
