A charming mid-20th century tableware piece, where glasswork meets the traditional elegance of silver-plated metal. This bowl is crafted from beautiful clear pressed-molded glass, entirely adorned with a relief decoration. A multitude of small pellets arranged in concentric compositions play with the light and give the glass that characteristic depth found in older productions. The rim is entirely accentuated by a silver-plated metal mount, highlighted on the front with a delightful relief decoration depicting a bunch of grapes accompanied by its leaf and tendril. This small detail is what gives it all its charm. Vines and grapes have held a special place in tableware for centuries. Symbols of abundance, conviviality, and naturally linked to wine service and the pleasure of entertaining, they were regularly used to adorn bowls, wine coolers, buckets, and table accessories. With a diameter of approximately 15 to 16 cm and a height of 6 cm, this bowl has a lovely presence without being cumbersome. It can hold fruits, sweets, dried fruits, or simply be repurposed as a catch-all on a console table or coffee table. The glass is in very good condition, with no chips or cracks visible in the photographs. The mount retains a beautiful antique patina, consistent with the age of the piece. A charming little piece, bright and decorative, reminiscent of an era when even the simplest tableware received its share of ornamentation.
