Brazil SA "Raminho" or "Little Branches" Marigold Butter Dish
Description
Claudio writes, "Hello Christina! Here I am again! Now to talk about my "Raminho" butter dish. Let's go to the history!
The first time I saw a "Raminho" (Little Branch) butter dish it was by a photo that my friend from Minas Gerais, Álvaro Aguiar Nicolau sent to me some years ago. In the photo were two Raminho butter dishes in two different sizes. What a stunning surprise! Two little jewels!
In this day it started my search for one Raminho piece. But during my search I sent Álvaros's photos, with Raminho and other butter dishes, to Glen & Stephen Thistlewood. They were surprised and wrote about Brazilian butter dishes on their site. They wrote that the pattern appears in Kutzscher's 1924 catalogue in two different butter dish sizes, as Álvaro's butter dishes sizes! And that before this, the pattern was identical to a Zabcowice pattern that is called Renaissance. Glen & Stephen have a Renaissance egg / bonboniere.
After this, Derek Sumpter wrote an excellent article for the Carnival Glass Society Newsletter #155 where, again, we can see a Raminho butter dish.
