About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Colored pressed glass from the 1930s possesses a special quality. Its hue is not uniformly distributed throughout the mass. It varies according to the thickness of the glass, being more intense in the raised areas and almost transparent in the thinnest parts. It is this play of light that gives these pieces all their charm. This lavender blue pressed glass bonbonnière is a beautiful example of this. The round bowl, with a scalloped edge, is flanked by two rectangular handles that give it a silhouette that is both understated and elegant. The domed lid, entirely covered with radiating ribs, rises to a ribbed spherical finial. The whole piece is perfectly proportioned. The lavender blue of this glass is particularly appealing. Depending on the light, it oscillates between an almost icy pale blue and a deeper, almost periwinkle blue. The ribs of the lid capture and redistribute the light with great delicacy. This type of two-handled bonbonnière was produced in the 1930s-1940s by major European glassworks, particularly French and German, in an Art Deco spirit that sought to bring elegance and color to bourgeois tables. Bowl diameter approximately 14 cm, height with lid closed approximately 12 cm. Lavender blue pressed-molded glass, Europe, circa . On a shelf or console, the light passing through this blue glass alone is enough to justify its presence.
