Smith Glass Company in caramel slag glass, a signature material developed through the combination of opaque and translucent molten batches to create marbled variation. The form represents a full-bodied turkey with defined plumage, molded in two sections with the lid shaped as the upper body and tail.

Slag glass pieces of this type were part of mid-20th-century American pressed-glass production, referencing earlier novelty and holiday forms. The molded interior and stable oval base align with standard L.E. Smith workshop practices. At eight inches in length, the piece reflects the scale commonly used for candy or table accents within the company’s specialty animal-form series.
