Celery vase cut in the strawberry diamond and fan pattern, probably Bakewell, Page and Bakewell, Pittsburgh, PA 1825-1835. There is a cut band of husk below the rim and a band of broad flutes below the strawberry diamonds and fans. A short stem with a large round knop joins the round foot that has a star cut pontil. The vase is 8" tall. Serving celery at the dining room table became popular in England and America in the early 19th century. When not in use, the vases were placed on the mantel or sideboard. They would also have been used to hold cut flowers. [lj] [ph:L]
