Arcopal France Clear Opalescent Bowl

Elegant in its simplicity, this ribbed glass bowl exemplifies French glassware’s balance between utilitarian form and visual refinement. Produced by Arcopal in the mid-20th century and marked “France,” it features crisp vertical ribbing that refracts light beautifully, giving it a subtle opalescent quality in certain angles.

Arcopal is a French glassware brand renowned for its fully tempered glass products.
