Antique Rare Milk Glass Swan Salt Bowl With Plated Cherub Charriot. A similar piece sold at auction in October of 2007 for $748 US ... The Estmate at the time was $300 - $400 US back then. Back in time salt dishes were very popular and often adorned tables .. they were a sign of wealth in social circles. This is a very lovely piece. The stated auction results are on the link below.

Origin: Gillinder Glass Philidalpia USA Circa: 1870's (Post Civil War)

Est Value: $950 - $1300 US based on market demand. This is a very lovely piece that has withstood the test of time. The providence from your mother adds value to the piece. I would recommend you document it and keep it with the piece. If you could find any old family pictures with it that would add value as well/ For insurance purposes I would insure this piece on your house insurance for $1500 - $1700 US replacement....

Lovely piece of history ... thanks for sharing ... please reply to my valuation with some feedback.

Peace Always
