ProfessionalProduct description
Colored pressed glass from the 1930s has a particular quality. Its hue is not uniformly distributed throughout the mass. It varies according to the thickness of the glass, more intense in the raised areas, almost transparent in the thinnest parts. It is this vibrancy that gives these pieces 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 towards a ribbed spherical finial. The whole is perfectly proportioned. The lavender blue of this glass is particularly appealing. Depending on the light, it oscillates between a pale, almost icy blue and a deeper, almost periwinkle blue. The ribs of the lid capture and redistribute light with great subtlety. 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 table, the light passing through this blue glass alone is enough to justify its presence.
