Overview
This is a set of four vibrant teal-blue footed glass dessert or coupe bowls featuring thick solid bases and flared rims. Their clean lines and rich jewel-toned color embody classic mid-century glassware aesthetics designed for stylish entertaining.
Story
In the post-war era, American and European homes embraced bold colors and sculptural glassware to brighten everyday dining. Teal and aquamarine shades became iconic symbols of mid-century modern interior style during the 1960s.
Maker / Origin
While many mid-century glass manufacturers like Anchor Hocking, Blenko, and Viking produced colorful table glass, European houses like iittala and Kosta Boda also popularized solid-footed glass vessels. These unsigned pieces reflect a widespread design ethos that prioritized both durability and striking color.
Condition & Value
The glass bowls appear intact without major visible cracks or chips, though minor flea bites on rims or base wear from age can affect overall value. Excellent condition helps maintain the higher end of the value range.
