Product Details

Hazel-Atlas Glass Company was one of the major producers of affordable pressed glassware in the United States during the early 20th century. Their factories utilized automated pressing techniques that allowed them to turn out vast quantities of decorative tableware for everyday American households. During the Depression era, they frequently incorporated uranium oxide into their glass batches to achieve a vibrant yellow-green hue that fluoresced brightly under ultraviolet light. This specific patterned bowl reflects the popular revival styles of the 1930s, combining geometric rays with floral motifs reminiscent of lotus petals. Such pieces were often sold individually or as part of luncheon sets through department stores and premium promotions. Today, collectors prize these items both for their intricate depression-era designs and their distinct glow under blacklight.
