Glass + Brass Serveware
November 28, 2022
A set of two scallop-edged bowls in smoky glass. The underside of the bowls have a fine texture resulting in a matte finish, while the inside of the bowls have a smooth glossy finish. Not many were produced, making these bowls rare and hard to come by despite its durability. Great shape for pasta bowls.
