1930s Macbeth-Evans Petalware Open Sugar Bowl with Under Saucer

A quietly elegant piece of American Depression-era glass, this open sugar bowl with matching under saucer was produced by Macbeth-Evans Glass Company in the 1930s as part of their beloved Petalware line.
Rendered in soft translucent monax glass, the form features gently ribbed sides, a scalloped rim, and a warm gold-trimmed edge that catches the light beautifully. The under saucer adds both visual balance and practical grace—exactly the kind of thoughtful design that defined quality American tableware of the period.
This piece does not glow under UV light, confirming it is not uranium glass—its beauty lies instead in subtlety, texture, and form.
Condition is very good vintage, with light age-appropriate wear to the gold trim, consistent with careful use over nearly a century.
Perfect as a functional sugar bowl, a display piece for a Depression glass collection, or styled into a cabinet vignette with other milk and monax glass.
