c. 1900 Opalescent Nautilus Sugar Dish by Northwood

About the Item

This gorgeous little opalescent shell sugar dish by Northwood dates back to c. 1900. In the Nautilus or Argonaut Shell design, a highly desirable piece, it has maintained its design position as a somewhat contemporary piece, though almost 125 years old. Done in a visually alluring opalescent glass, with a contemporary graphic and textured pattern in the glass that reflects a sea theme, this sugar dish has a wonderful lid that boast a conch shell handle that rests at the top of the crescent. The dish sits on a small nautical patterned shirt at its base. This piece would be a great find for a collector or a fabulous addition to a summer home along the coast.
