This vintage cobalt blue pressed glass trinket box features a lidded form sculpted as a dolphin resting on a stylized wave base. The oval ribbed container aligns with mid-20th-century American novelty glass production, in which animal figures were adapted from Victorian covered animal dishes and reissued in vibrant modern colors.
The deep cobalt body reflects standard soda-lime glass formulations used for decorative utility ware. Molded surface details, including the dolphin’s fins and the swirling wave pattern, demonstrate the emphasis on sculptural presentation common to regional glasshouses producing small-format covered boxes. Measuring approximately 5.75 inches, the piece serves as both a functional container and a collectible example of mid-century novelty glass.
