The bowls feature the classic Century form with softly flared sides, a ruffled rim, and pedestal bases, a shape designed for both serving and decorative display. Pieces in this pattern are widely collected within the category of American mid century pressed glass and Art Deco inspired tableware. The rich amethyst tone highlights the elegant silhouette and makes the pair especially attractive for use as centerpiece bowls, fruit bowls, or decorative accents. These pieces have been irradiated to produce the deep amethyst color. They have a couple tiny air bubbles, which is expected in items of this age, and the bases show scant wear, from contact with surfaces over time. See less
