History

This clear pressed glass shallow bowl is from the Cape Cod pattern produced by Imperial Glass-Ohio, which was introduced in 1932 and remained in production until the 1980s. The pattern features a distinctive diamond and teardrop design with a sunburst center that exemplifies the American pressed glass tradition of the mid-20th century. Cape Cod glassware is highly sought after by collectors of American Depression and mid-century glass for its elegant yet sturdy design. The 6-inch shallow bowl was likely used as a bread and butter plate or mayonnaise underplate in formal table settings. These versatile pieces appeal to collectors who appreciate functional mid-century American glassware with classic patterns that complement various table settings.
