Imperial Purple Lion Slag Glass Nesting Candy Dish

Founded in 1901 in Bellaire, Ohio, Imperial Glass rose to prominence after beginning full production in 1904, becoming one of America’s leading makers of pressed and cut-glass tableware. By 1909 the company had expanded into colored, iridescent, and eventually slag glass, with its richly marbled mid-century slag pieces, including the coveted purple tones, becoming collector favorites. This immaculate vintage Imperial purple slag glass lion dish is from the 1950s to 1960s.
