    Master Cat Puss in Boots Ambassador Marquis Kitchen Art Window Sill Decoration
    Vintage Pairpoint Glass Cup Plate 107
    Made in USA
    This Pairpoint Glass coaster size 3.5 inch cup plate features Puss in Boots, Ambassador to Marquis of Carabas. The famous booted cat is shown on Pairpoint plate 107 bowing in a most gentlemanly manner. The master cat is outfitted with a feather plumed hat, a staff bearing the Pairpoint insignia (the letter P enclosed in a diamond), and of course, his legendary boots. The pressing for Puss in Boots was limited to 4,000 before the mould was destroyed. The designer was Leonard Padgett and the engraver was Gary Chiconas. Note: The photo with the cupcake is for size illustration only.
    Additional Information
    Cup plates are small coaster size decorative glass art glass collectibles that measure about
    3.5 inches
    in diameter and .5 inches in height.
    The pictures are taken close and could show blemishes that are not necessarily seen by the naked eye. The photos that show the greatest detail generally appear a little different than the actual color.
    Made in America. The Pairpoint Glass Co. of Sagamore, MA, which is on Cape Cod, is the oldest glass making company in America. The company is well-known for manufacturing quality crystal cup plates since the 1920's.
    Pairpoint cup plates are a unique work of art. Cup plates were signed with the Pairpoint trademark and the initials/monogram of the engraver. Using traditional freehand methods, the engraver worked directly in steel using a hammer and chisel. Using an antique press that made early cup plates, the vintage plates were hand pressed in 34% lead crystal. The majority of vintage crystal cup plates were commissioned by historical societies, museums, churches, and other non-profit organizations.
    Pairpoint graded their plates at the factory. First quality plates, which came with a Pairpoint label/sticker, were the most desirable. It is normal that first quality plates may have handcrafted characteristics such as a swirl in the center of the plate, small lines not part of the design, bubbles, specks or tiny flecks. If a plate has a sticker, it will be visible in a photo or mentioned in the description. Sometimes the sticker/label was removed by the original owner, so I mention the grading process only as a guideline.
    Today cup plates may be used as window sill decorations as the vintage glass art look so pretty displayed on a windowsill with the light shining through. Other uses include:
    Dinner table butter pat, tea bag, or mint dishes
    Guest favors for weddings or showers
    Guest soap, ring, trinket, or vanity dishes
    Small coaster size plates for gourmet appetizers, chocolates, or cup cakes
    Eclectic glass for stained glass or other art glass projects

    About me as a Seller
    The majority of the cup plates I sell belonged to my mother, who was an early member of Cape Cod's Pairpoint Cup Plate Collectors of America (PCPCA). She collected many vintage cup plates, and had most, if not all, of the limited editions. I enjoy offering cup plates to people who appreciate this unique form of art glass.
