A double dish with a ribbed loop handle that encircles a piece joining the two round dishes. The center figurine that graced earlier models was described in the 1936-37 catalog as a "modernistic baby whale". The stylized 'baby whale' was deleted from the 1940 catalog and replaced with a ribbed band, as seen in this model.
The "Mint And Nut Dish" (Chase Item No. 29003) was designed by Ruth L. and William H. Gerth.
