This elegant serving plate features a mesmerizing radial ribbing that captures and refracts light across its warm, rosy surface. The transition from the smooth, polished center to the rhythmic, textured perimeter creates a sophisticated visual play between transparency and pattern. Its low-profile, expansive form offers a significant sculptural presence, making it a compelling centerpiece for a refined tabletop arrangement or a curated display cabinet.
Attribution & Period
Regional Example, 1930s
The form, color, and molded ribbing are stylistically aligned with American "Depression Era" glass production. The soft pink hue—often achieved through the addition of selenium or erbium—combined with the precise machine-molded geometric fluting, is consistent with high-volume, high-quality decorative glass houses of the mid-to-late 1930s. No factory mark was observed, which is typical for glassware of this period.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The glass retains an exceptional clarity and high-gloss shine. Clinical observation reveals very light signs of utensil use on the interior surface, consistent with age and careful handling. No chips, cracks, or professional repairs are present.
Authenticity & Construction
This piece was produced using a high-pressure mold-pressed technique, evidenced by the crispness of the radial ridges and the consistent thickness of the glass wall. This manufacturing method was a hallmark of 20th-century industrial design, allowing for complex geometric textures that interact dynamically with ambient light.
Placement
The warm tone and architectural ribbing make this plate an ideal accent for a Mid-Century Modern sideboard or a contemporary glass-topped dining table. It functions beautifully as a standalone decorative object or as a sophisticated vessel for hors d'oeuvres in an upscale interior.
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.
