McKee's first two Prescut patterns were Aztec and Toltec — and Toltec is the more intricate of the two.
Patented in 1904 as an affordable alternative to fine cut crystal, the Prescut line gave the American table something beautiful without the cost of hand-cut glass. The Toltec pattern is a dense, satisfying composition of pinwheels, stars, and cane — pressed milk glass that catches light with surprising richness. This open sugar bowl bears the impressed "McK" mark on the base, photographed for your review. A word for collectors: Kemple Glass reproduced Toltec in milk glass after purchasing McKee's molds in 1945, and Wheaton Glass produced another reproduction in the 1970s. The mark helps narrow it down, but we encourage you to review all photos carefully and draw your own conclusion.
A lovely find for the McKee or milk glass collector, and a beautiful open sugar for nuts, salts, or condiments on a thoughtfully set table.
