Description
Hippie Decor Flower Power Bent Glass Dish
Groovy multi-purpose retro vintage glass bowl. A glassmaker called Chance Glass from England in the 1950’s is usually credited for this great style of glass. It was so popular in the mid-century that many other glass makers duplicated the thin bent style. There is no label and it is impossible to say where this hippy relic was made, but it certainly looks and feels like Chance Glass, or possibly Maurice Heaton. Definitely vintage.
The enamel decor is in original condition, very bright and uniform, no fading. There are two “Maker’s Miss” areas on the decor. One is at the tip of a the center flower’s blue petal where a speck of white enamel occurs and the other is a purplish frayed line running through an outer flower’s white petal. These are both errors in the decor left by the maker. Both are very hard to notice. The colors of the decor are pristine retro. Olive green background with vivid yellow, orange, blue and white flowers. The black glass is often referred to as “smoke” glass. Chance, and companies who imitated them, made this glass by bending hot plate glass. The result is hand-made glass with no seams and a slim uniform glass thickness.
The flower power bent glass dish measures 7.5″ at widest and is 1.5″ tall.[color-box]More About Western European Glass[/color-box]
