Smith Glass Company and believed to feature the sought-after Mt. Pleasant Double Shield pattern.

Crafted from richly colored black amethyst glass, the bowl reveals deep plum undertones when held to the light—a hallmark of authentic black amethyst glass. Its softly scalloped tulip-shaped rim, graceful curved body, and sculptural three-footed base create a striking silhouette that is both elegant and timeless.

Originally designed as a centerpiece or console bowl, this versatile piece is equally beautiful displayed on a dining table, entry console, coffee table, vanity, or open shelving. Whether filled with seasonal décor or displayed on its own, the glossy black glass adds sophisticated contrast to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The sculptural design reflects the quality American pressed glass craftsmanship that made L.E. Smith one of the country's most respected glass manufacturers during the mid-20th century.

Why Collectors Love Black Amethyst Glass

Black Amethyst glass has been prized by collectors for decades because of its unique appearance. In normal light it appears jet black, but when exposed to sunlight or a bright light source, it reveals deep amethyst or plum tones created by the manganese and other minerals used during production. This hidden richness gives Black Amethyst glass a distinctive elegance that sets it apart from ordinary black glass. See less
