A unique piece of the past!

A request: Please read my copy here. It tell you how special is. You can find this 1950s platter (almost 75 years old!) on Amazon, eBay, and other websites in clear, all-green and all-amber glass. There are also a few, badly faded full-color trays. I can't tell which, if any, are damaged, but they're all pre-owned which implies they're used. This full-color platter was never used...the colors are all still brilliant...it's in A-1 condition...it looks like it was bought yesterday...and it's still in the original box. Made by Indiana Glass, a popular American glassmaker founded in 1907, it has 5 sections of pressed glass. The colored glass fruits have an amazing, iridescent glow, a technique Indiana Glass made famous. Metallic salts are added to hot, pressed glass to create the gorgeous shimmering effect, then fired to bring out the luminous finish. This 9" x 11-1/2" platter is very solid with scalloped edges. Bits of color on a few photo EDGES are other lustrous colors in the platter. They all catch light even in a dark corner of a room! Amazing! This tray is ideal for all sorts of snacks and little edibles. Even empty, it's beautiful on a shelf, in a glass cabinet or on a plate stand. When you hold this very well-preserved tray, it's a bit like being in The Twilight Zone, taking you back to the 1950s. I can feel it. I bet you could too. WHAT'S THE PLATTER (I mean, matter)?
