Description
Vintage Federal Glass Windsor pattern divided relish dish.

The center features a sunburst motif that radiates into diamond-cut textures, catching light beautifully.
Key Features
Mid-Century hostess aesthetic, heavy durable construction, classic Windsor 'Button and Cane' style variation, three-compartment functionality.
Authenticity Indicators
Federal Glass often used an 'F' in a shield mark, but many Windsor pieces are unmarked. The specific geometric mold is a known Federal Glass pattern. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' along the rim and the dividers. Minor surface scratching from utensil use may be present but hard to see in photos.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (vintage niche), eBay, or Facebook Marketplace (local pick-up to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark background to highlight the glass facets. Use keywords like 'Depression Style,' 'Federal Glass,' 'Windsor Pattern,' and 'Relish Tray.' Package extremely well with double boxes if shipping.
