1930s Macbeth-Evans Petalware Bowl
A beautiful example of American Depression-era glass, this Macbeth-Evans Petalware bowl dates to the early 1930s and showcases everything collectors love about the line: soft satin finish, elegant molded petal motifs, and a refined opalescent glow that feels quietly luxurious rather than flashy.
The form is balanced and architectural, with repeating heart-and-petal panels and a gently scalloped rim. Under light, the glass shifts from creamy translucence to a warm, pearly sheen — classic Macbeth-Evans craftsmanship designed to bring beauty to everyday tables during a difficult era.
