Sutliff Museum bread plates

Antique bread plates are being featured at the Sutliff Museum during May and June. Taken from a collection of over one hundred seventy five pressed glass bread plates from all across America and England, this grouping features primarily commemorative designs of political figures and historic places. They represent the many colors and shapes used in the manufacture of such tableware,
According to this collector, it was after the Civil War that technology made great advances in the field of molding glass. Whole place settings and dishes with specific purposes, such as plates for serving bread were popular and affordable. Glass houses in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio made hundreds of patterns of pressed glass, The Sutliff Museum in 2006 presented a lecture on the many patterns that are still collectible today. In this collector's experience, the most common serving piece to be found now at antiques shows and estate sales is the bread plate.
The Museum is located on the second floor of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, 444 Mahoning Avenue, in Warren's Historic District and is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 2-4 p.m. It is free and fully accessible. For further information call 330-399-8807, ext. 121, or visit the Museum website at www.sutliffmuseum.org.
