| Description: |
CHILSON is a great rarity among the heavy, lead-glass patterns of the middle of the 19th century. It is comparable in its exceptionally large size, brilliant glass quality, and extreme scarcity to another desirable pattern called LEE. Both patterns feature stems of offset flutes that form a knob where they meet at mid-stem.
