East Sandwich MA Wing Family Fort Vintage Cape Cod Pairpoint Glass Cup Plate Vintage Cape Cod Window Decoration Handcrafted on Cape Cod, Made in USA This vintage lead crystal Pairpoint Glass cup plate was limited to approximately 2,000 little plates before the mould was changed and the date removed. Sandwich is known to be the first town to be settled on Cape Cod, and in 1639 became the first Cape town to incorporate. The Wing Fort House is one of the old houses that survived, and is located in East Sandwich, where the Wing family reunions are held every year. The house was built in 1641 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The cup plate commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Wing Family Reunion. Pairpoint cup plate number 39 began pressing in 1977, and was commissioned by the Wing Family of America.

Vintage Pairpoint Glass lead crystal cup plates are works of art that feature intricate designs and decorative elements not commonly found on modern glass. They can add a touch of elegance to a collection or home decor. The 3.5 inch cup plates were handcrafted on Cape Cod using traditional techniques. The artisan created a steel mold with hammer and chisel for each intricate design, and then hand-pressed molten glass into the engraved mold using an antique press. This hand process created a series of cup plates that are similar, but not identical. The irregularities highlight the handmade nature of each piece. Each cup plate has the artisan\'s initials and the Pairpoint trademark embedded within the design. The cup plate can be used as a small catchall dish to keep track of small trinkets such as keys or jewelry, or as a ring dish to keep all your small, special things safe.
