Early Seetusee Prototype Potpourri By Mayfair Dish ~ Model JA-1012

Glass : Art Glass : Seetusee

 

What I have here is an early version of what was to become Seetusee glass. The colors are candy apple blue, candy apple green, deep cobalt and gold. The design is a functional rectangular shape with none of the ruffled look of Seetusee. It measures 12" X 10". The back is still gold painted pigskin but the ink stamped logo says the following: Do not immerse in water: Potpourri: By Mayfair: Handmade in Canada. Below this is the model number. This would date to the mid 1960's and was the precursor to the more colorful and better known glass.

This does have some condition issues. The pigskin has started to open up along the edges, allowing air gaps to form. The 4th picture shows the largest area of this. This is an uncommon piece of Canadian glass history.
