St Louis Worlds Fair 1904 Souvenir Glass 7.5" Plate Festival Hall Antique EAPG

Description: Pressed glass souvenir plate from the 1904 Saint Louis World's Fair. Lovely decorative latticed border surround. 3-D image of the Festival Hall is pressed into the back of the plate, then over-painted in gold. Embossed tittle appears at the top and bottom of the central circular image: "World's Fair ~ St. Louis, 1904 ~ Festival Hall and Cascade Gardens". I assume date means this can be safely classified as EAPG (Early American Pressed Glass). Other cyber-land examples attribute this to Westmoreland due to the forget-me-not floral & lattice rim. Hallmarks: None. Dimensions: 7.5" diameter x 7/8" profile depth. Raised base diameter = 4.75", which is the same as the central image. Condition: Good giftable condition. Mentionable issue: Gold paint on underside eroded, predominantly on top half. of central circular medallion. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks, hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. No sickness, discoloration, or residues. Don't feel anything amiss when I run finger around edges. Unpacked weight: 12 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
