DescriptionGreen glass salad plate with the Cracky pattern.DimensionsDiameter x Depth: 8 × 0.625 in. (20.3 × 1.6 cm)Historical NotesPart of a collection of glass that belonged to Katherine Rupert, the mother of donor Katherine Thomas. Her husband, Charles Rupert, owned a Mobil service station in Harmarville that was located at the corner of Guys Run Road and Freeport Road. They would give premiums when you bought gas, so Charles would bring these sets or pieces home for his wife. The donor remembers that her mother didn't display the pieces, but instead stored them in boxes in the cellar.
