Vintage 1903 Glassport SPOON REST Indian Chief Design!

Vintage 1903 Glassport SPOON REST Indian Chief Design! - eBay (item 310054329052 end time Jun-01-08 18:11:46 PDT)

This clear glass spoon rest features the head of an Indian chief complete with headdress, two tomahawks, peace pipe and necklace. Embossed letters say, "1903 Buy Glassport Lots."

It's incredibly detailed. I took far too many pictures out of fear you couldn't see the see-through thing. Besides the great chief, there's an Indian design around the inner rim, another on top of the rim and dots underneath the edge.
