Introduced in 1958, the Coin pattern reinterprets historic American motifs, here expressed through frosted medallions alternating between the American Eagle and Liberty Torch.
The form features a scalloped rim, paneled body, domed lid with faceted finial, and a hexagonal pedestal foot. An excellent example of mid-century American glass that bridges traditional symbolism with clean, mid-century lines giving the piece strong vertical presence while remaining elegant and balanced. At 13 inches high, it works beautifully as a decorative accent, candy jar, or display piece on a console, sideboard, or bookshelf.

JUNE'S THOUGHTS
This is one of those pieces that surprises people in person. The emerald green has real depth, and the frosted medallions catch the light just enough to keep it from feeling heavy or formal. I love it styled alone—no flowers needed—where the silhouette and color can do the work. It brings a subtle sense of American heritage without feeling themed or dated.
