Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mid-20th Century * Material: Pressed Glass * Style: Retro patterned * Includes: Large swirl plate, various patterned bowls, decanter, footed dessert dishes, and a leaf-shaped dish in a lighter, peach-amber tone. Condition: General surface wear and minor scuffs consistent with age and use. One item has a price sticker attached. No visible chips or cracks observed in the primary pieces. Interesting fact: * Pressed glass was a popular and cost-effective method of glass production, allowing for intricate patterns and designs to be mass-produced, making decorative items accessible to a wider market during the mid-20th century. * Amber-hued glassware was a staple in many American and European homes, often used for everyday dining and special occasions, and remains highly collectable for its nostalgic appeal and vibrant colour.
