Can anyone identify the maker of this milk glass covered dish? It has a design of Maltese-like crosses around the side. This band is wavy. I THINK it might be a covered butter dish. From research, it resembles Kemple...but I couldn't find any marks on it. Thanks for any help...

I could never guess a maker. However, my first thought is that it might have been used at a preacher's home, convent, monastery, seminary, etc.
Further, I recall such designs being prevalent in Byzantine, perhaps Orthodox - Russian, Greek, etc.
I feel as if I have seen the design in such settings.

You could be on to something, Bill. The top, especially with the ridges, do resemble a dome of a cathedral. Hopefully, someone who knows more than I (probably quite a few folks) will be able to enlighten me. Thanks!
