$22.00 – $28.00
Add a touch of dramatic Art Deco elegance to your home with this choice of vintage black amethyst glass. Produced during the Great Depression era by iconic American manufacturers like L.E. Smith and Imperial Glass, "black amethyst" is a unique material that appears completely opaque black but reveals a deep, glowing purple when held directly to a strong light source.
1. 1930s L.E. Smith Mt. Pleasant Handled Plate: This 10" tray features the classic "Double Shield" pattern with a subtle floral etched design and heart-shaped handles. It is a quintessential piece of 1930s hospitality glassware, perfect for serving appetizers or as a vanity tray. This piece is in very good condition, showing some light surface scratches consistent with its age.
2. L.E. Smith Footed Black Bowl: This 3 1/2" tall bowl features a three-footed base and a hand-painted floral motif. Originally part of a line often decorated with silver or enamel accents, this piece shows its history through some wear to the painted lines.
