Rosaline glass plates possesses a delicate, ethereal presence, defined by a luminous pale pink hue that deepens into a rich raspberry tone along the scalloped edges, service for two. The radiating swirled ribbing creates a dynamic play of light, transitioning from a translucent center to a textured, architectural perimeter. Their shallow coupe profile offers a sophisticated silhouette that balances mid-century utility with a timeless, sculptural elegance.
Attribution & Period
By Arcoroc (a division of Arc International). These pieces are definitively attributed via the "arcoroc 24 FRANCE" embossed mark on the base. While often mistaken for 1930s Depression Glass due to their "Pink Swirl" motif, this specific line was produced in Arques, France, during the 1980s. The numeral "24" in the marking refers to the specific factory mold cavity rather than a date code; however, the typeface and "Rosaline" colorway definitively place these in the decade of 1980–1989, when the pattern was mass-marketed as a durable, tempered alternative to antique glassware.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 1.375 inches
Width / Diameter: 9 inches
Depth / Base Diameter: 5.5 inches
Weight: 1.618 pounds (collective)
Condition
Direct and well-preserved. The surfaces exhibit light, age-appropriate utensil markings consistent with occasional use. No chips, cracks, or fleabites are observed on the scalloped rims or footed bases. The glass maintains high clarity and consistent pink saturation throughout.
Authenticity & Construction
Manufactured in France, these plates are composed of tempered glass, a signature of the Arcoroc brand known for its superior thermal and impact resistance. The "Swirl" pattern was achieved through precision press-molding, resulting in the uniform, tactile ridges that catch and refract ambient light, a hallmark of 1980s French glassware design.
Placement
These plates serve as striking decorative accents on a contemporary sideboard or integrated into a curated tablescape. Their architectural texture and soft color profile make them ideal for interiors seeking a touch of Post-Modern romanticism or "Grandmillennial" sophistication.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE
This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
