This glass Christmas Sleigh was made using one of L. G. Wright's own molds. It's slightly smaller than the original Russian Sleigh made by Belmont Glass Works in 1886, which was 11" long. This one measures 4-7/8" high by 8" long by 5-1/4" wide. It's in excellent condition with no cracks, hairlines. It does have one very minor sliver fleabite on the inside edge of the front runner (see last photo). There's also some minor roughness along the mold lines from being pulled out of the mold when made. L. G. Wright marketed these sleighs during the 1960's.
The sleigh is a wonderful Holiday display piece with Christmas themed items in it. Or, you can use it as a candy dish.
