The bowl has softly flared sides, a gently scalloped rim, and a low pedestal base—hallmarks of the streamlined Century pattern introduced by Fostoria in the late 1930s.

The etched motif wraps the bowl in a repeating floral garland, adding contrast and refinement against the deep amethyst glass. The compact size makes it ideal for serving berries, candies, nuts, or small desserts, while the pedestal form gives it presence as a decorative accent piece.
Fostoria’s Century pattern remains one of the company’s most recognized modern designs, valued for its clean Art Deco silhouette and versatile table use. This piece has been irradiated to produce the deep, amethyst purple color. The base has a few, scant scratches from contact with surfaces over time. No chips or cracks. See less
