Fantastic vintage E O Brody Co Milk Glass Centerpiece Oval Dish in diamond/basket weave patterned with scalloped edges.  I believe this piece is from the 1960s/70s.  This item is decorative and meant to use as a centerpiece for flowers (use moistened florist's green foam) or for small goodies - would look charming with a cloth napkin and small bread rolls.  It is NOT meant for use in the oven.

Interesting bit of history on E O Brody from the Glass Encyclopedia:
"
The E.O. Brody Company was founded in 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Ernest Oscar Brody. Mr Brody was known as EO in the florists' trade. His innovative idea was to sell utility glass floral containers exclusively to florists and to market them through wholesale florists who in turn would sell to retail florists. Initially he started the company with only four flower vases/containers in his portfolio. These were made by US glass manufacturers using EO's own molds marked with the company name ... E.O. Brody products are mostly inexpensive, mass-produced, vases, bowls, and flower pots. The company commissioned a large volume of milk glass and green glass pieces, selling for 50 cents to a dollar. They also sold brown glass and clear glass with a red painted surface. They even imported crystal vases from Turkey, which were marked with a paper label "Made in Turkey for E.O. Brody Company".  E.O.Brody and his wife are now retired. But the company they founded and its brilliant idea to sell florists containers through wholesale florists continues on."

Bottom reads: E. O. Brody Co, MJ 50, 18, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, Measures approximately 9 inches long by 6 1/2 inches wide by 3 inches deep.

It is in good condition.  No chips or cracks. There are a few miniscule black marks in the crevices.  I was able to remove most of them with a little elbow grease and my fingernails!  Probably would come off with an abrasive cleanser but I don't want to compromise the integrity of this lovely dish.  I leave that to the new owner - they really aren't noticeable and I mention them only to be accurate (see photos).

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
