Sugar Bowl, McKee, Toltec Prescut, Milk Glass, Vintage

• Vintage Open Sugar Bowl with Handles, Milk Glass, McKee Toltec Prescut Pattern,  Elegant Serveware, Tableware, (Discontinued)
• Made in: Jeannette, PA, USA 
• Vintage: 1930's - 1940's
• Details:   We believe this is an original McKee Open Sugar in the "Toltec" pattern.  It is a very intricate pattern with lots of pinwheels and other cuts, typically described as Stars and Cane. It has the McKee mark impressed on the bottom.  We know that Kemple Glass reproduced the McKee Toltec pattern in milk glass and other colors during the 1950s and 1960s, after purchasing the McKee molds in 1945.  Much later, in the 1970's Wheaton Glass also reproduced Toltec, again this one has the mark, "McK", we've photographed it for your review.  If you are a collector, please review pictures carefully, we've done lots of research but we are not expert.  If you've broken your McKee sugar, we hope this is a happy find.

McKee Glass has a long history going back to S. McKee & Company in 1834 Pittsburg, PA. McKee went through several partnerships and mergers.   In 1904 they were doing business as McKee-Jeannette Glass Company, and that's the year they were granted a patent for the Prescut name (aka “tec” patterns).   Issued for the masses who couldn't afford fine cut crystal, these patterns imitated fine cut glass, and looked beautiful.  The first two patterns issued were Aztec and Toltec.  McKee is also known for their “Glasbake” brand glass, introduced in 1917 to compete with Pyrex.  In 1951, McKee became a division of the Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company and renamed McKee Division of Thatcher Glass Company.  In 1961, Thatcher sold the company to another glass manufacturer, Jeannette Glass Co.
