Details
This elegant vintage glass bowl, featuring twin handles and a beautifully embossed grapevine design. Clusters of grapes and leafy vines wrap around the bowl in raised relief, highlighted with warm gold-toned accents that catch the light and enhance its ornate detailing. The clear glass has a subtly textured finish, offering both visual interest and a tactile feel.
Crafted likely in the early 20th century, this piece contains manganese dioxide, a decolorizing agent used in antique glass production. Under ultraviolet (UV) light, manganese causes the glass to emit a soft greenish or pale violet glow—a subtle but distinctive trait that helps authenticate its age. This glow is especially prized by collectors and adds a layer of historical intrigue to the piece.
