About this Article

Q. I have two pieces of cut crystal that were given to my grandparents as wedding presents in the early 1900s. One is a cheese or butter dish with a bell-shaped cover. It is about 9 inches high and sits on an under plate 9 inches in diameter. The other piece is a pitcher that is about 11 inches tall.
