Description

A vintage frosted blue opalescent glass bowl, likely mid-20th century, featuring an intricate embossed design of roses and a sunburst pattern. This decorative piece exemplifies classic glassware aesthetics. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mid-20th Century * Material: Frosted Opalescent Glass * Style: Decorative Arts/Vintage * Motif: Embossed roses and sunburst Condition: Presents with general surface wear and visible accumulation of dirt and discoloration, particularly on the base and within the embossed patterns, consistent with age and use. No chips, cracks, or significant structural damage are apparent. Interesting fact: * Frosted or 'satin' glass finishes were achieved through acid etching or sandblasting, creating a soft, diffused appearance that was popular in the early to mid-20th century. * Opalescent glass, often appearing milky or pearlescent, achieves its effect through the controlled cooling of glass with specific mineral additives. Use: Ideal as a decorative centrepiece, fruit bowl, or elegant serving dish for a collector of vintage glass or a classic home interior.
