Vintage Mid Century Handmade French Crystal Art Glass Bowl
This is a gorgeous vintage mid century heavy modernist French crystal amorphic bowl in excellent condition. Original owner says it came from France and was also used in fine restaurants in France and cruise ships in the 1960s. We had 2 of these and sold one years ago. The buyer recognized it and confirmed the owners story that it was originally from France and came with a metallic paper label. But I don't know which glass company made it as the label is missing. It is a beautiful piece with fine workmanship. The bottom is recessed in such a way as to make 4 large finger/hand grip. Lovely design and very heavy for its size at 2.2 pounds. It measures 5 5/8" across East to West in the center by 5 1/2" deep in the center by 3 7/8" tall North to South. Condition is excellent having very minor age wear. No cracks or chips or flakes or repair. This is a lovely piece for your mid century modern glass collection.

This Swedish modern striped effect was initiated by Atterberg in 1949 and carried into the 1950s whereupon she designed many products for Upsala Eckeby using this motif which has been referred to as "Nevada" given the comparison to the earthy colors of the Nevada landscape.
This personal hand tray is a lovely example of Atterberg's work and beautifully depicts the milk white to deep brown to golden striping that she is known for. It is from an estate where it has not been used in many years. Size is 8 3/4" wide across east to west by 6 3/4" north to south. Depth/height is 1/2". It could be used as a wall hanging to enhance your mid century decor. Also looks fine on a desk, accent table, vanity etc....It has one glaze flake on the very edge toward the underside which is quite small and measures about 1/8". This flake does not interfere with the earthenware structure which is fine and has no chips or flakes. We took an enlarged photos so you could see it clearly. Other than this the tray is in excellent overall condition. No cracks or chips. No breaks No repair. A lovely example of mid century Scandinavian artistry by a well known sculptural artist for your modernism collection.
About:
Ingrid Magdalena Atterberg-Göransson (b. 1920 - d. 2008) was a celebrated epitome of illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century and a leading designer for Upsala Ekeby in the 1950s and 1960s. Atterberg is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
In 1944, she was employed at Upsala Ekeby, where appreciation for her works as a ceramicist continued to grow over the years. She was known for using 'manganese clay' in the 1940s and chamotte in the 1950s, and successfully developed her own glazes. In the late 1940s, her own collection called "Ekeby Verkstad" was born with a numbered series that began at 100.
During her career, Atterberg had several exhibitions and received a gold medal for her work in Italy as well as completing a number of public commissions.

This is a vintage Art Deco ladies mechanical pencil that telescopes in and out. Since it is very hard to pull it in and out it appears to get stuck. The bottom section pushes out lead as you turn it forward and retracts the lead as you turn it backward. It was never monogrammed or inscribed. All of the gold is intact and it has age patina. It also has dark spots on the center tube which should be professionally polished out. There is a 1/8" narrow strip of silver within the gold metal that runs down the length pof the center tube. It is melded into the gold and not a separate piece of metal. Could be 1930s vermeille gold and silver. Overall condition is very good. No dents or dings. No deep scratches or damages. This is a lovely Art Deco estate find for your ladies accessories collection. Would also look good enhanced with a layer of pearl wrap around the center tube....
