Nestle Sundae Dish, 1910-1940
01
Artifact Overview
Ice cream sundaes originated in the late 1800s, with early versions consisting of vanilla ice cream topped with flavored syrup. Enterprising soda fountain owners tweaked the recipe, using different syrups, adding fruit and nut toppings, and finishing it off with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry. Sundaes served in a dish like this became a favorite among customers.
