The Jeannette Glass Company bowl in the iconic 'Iris and Herringbone' pattern is a refined example of classic pressed glass. This specific design, characterized by lush floral motifs and the distinctive iridescent finish, is a beloved collector's item from the heyday of American 'depression glass'.
Crafted from high-quality glass, this object displays a masterful command of texture and light reflection. The surface is enriched with a detailed relief of irises, set against a background of a subtle herringbone pattern. The warm, golden and orange tones, often referred to as 'marigold' in the collector's world, gain extra depth from the 'carnival glass' glaze applied to the material. The scalloped rim adds an elegant, organic element to the round silhouette.
The object is in excellent condition, with the original luster and sharpness of the pressed glass relief fully preserved. The iridescent layer displays a beautiful, pristine character that testifies to careful preservation over the years. There are no distracting elements that affect the aesthetic integrity of this historic piece.
This bowl serves as a striking decorative accent in both classic and eclectic interiors. Placed on a wooden sideboard or as a centerpiece on a coffee table, the glass captures the ambient light in a spectacular way. It is a sophisticated addition for lovers of historic glassware and vintage elegance.
