History
Arcoroc, a division of Arc International, is a French glassware manufacturer that became prominent in the mid-20th century for producing durable, affordable pressed glass tableware. The 'Arcade Bengale' pattern features a distinctive scalloped rim and radial ribbing that creates an elegant, vintage aesthetic popular from the 1970s through the 1990s. These bowls were mass-produced for everyday use but have gained collectible status due to their Art Deco-inspired design and nostalgic appeal. Vintage Arcoroc glassware appeals to collectors of mid-century modern kitchenware, retro dining enthusiasts, and those seeking affordable vintage tableware with French design heritage. The 'Arcade Bengale' pattern is particularly valued for its versatility as both a functional serving piece and decorative display item, making it popular among vintage homeware collectors and those furnishing period-appropriate interiors.
