Note: Rose noted "All three members of the series often have spalls and are hard to find in proof condition." Elsholz and Bourne cataloged this as unique unlisted clambroth. In my opinion it is cloudy instead of clambroth.

Note: Arguably the most important of all cup plates with an irreproachable provenance and in top condition. It was cataloged as unique when sold at the famous auction of the Parker collection in 1953 and this designation holds true to this day. Its combination of both familiar and boldly unique design elements places it among the great icons of early American glass.
Lot 2032 - LEE/ROSE NO. 67 , colorless, cloudy areas on shoulder, 18 even scallops. Extremely rare. Unknown origin, possibly Philadelphia or Midwestern. 3 9/16" d.

.

Note: The example from the King collection is the only other sales record we could locate for this plate. It was on Elsholz's want list but he never acquired a specimen. Mr. King noted "In all our collecting (up to 1/1/99) we have seen only this one example put on sale." Mrs. Powell listed only a cracked example for sale by Rose in 1969. Unfortunately she did not record the provenance for this plate. An example from the Marble collection was included in the 1954 Corning exhibit (case 38, #627) and included by Rose in his new "100 Best" clear list.

Even with the surfacing of several subsequent examples, this remains one of the most sought after and elusive of all cup plates. An example from the Marble collection was included in the 1954 Corning exhibit (case 38, #640) and included by Rose in his new "100 Best" clear list.
