Professional Etsy Shop Description

Bring a warm, luminous glow to your table with this gorgeous Jeannette Glass Floragold bowl in the highly collectible Louisa pattern. Manufactured during the 1950s in Pennsylvania, this stunning piece of American glassware features an intricately embossed floral, leaf, and vine motif on its exterior, paired with a perfectly smooth interior and a dramatic, fluidly ruffled rim.
