Featured is a wonderful Vintage Elegant Stretch Celeste Blue Glass Bowl.
- Vintage elegant glass, also called “good glass,” is often hand-pressed, hand-molded, or hand-blown, and frequently features hand-finished bases.
- Elegant glass is made of high-quality glass, has fewer visible seams, and lacks the little
- bubbles and wrinkles found in pieces of Depression glass.
- Extra steps made the difference. For example, after a piece was shaped, it was inserted back into a “glory hole” for fire polishing, which gave it a high gloss.
- Most elegant glass was crystal, but some of it was pastel colored and translucent.
- Pattern: The Stretch Glass Society defines Stretch Glass as a pressed or blown-molded glass that has little or no pattern and is sprayed with a metallic salt mix while hot. When finished, it will have either a cobweb iridescence effect (equal to stretch marks) or a plain iridescence effect.
- Color: This is a Vintage Glass Bowl, blue stretch glass.
- Design: plain design, shallow flared bowl
