Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
The Westmoreland Glass Company produced decorative glassware in Grapeville, Pennsylvania, starting in the late nineteenth century. They made items like this milk glass bowl to appeal to households wanting decorative tableware that looked like expensive European porcelain. Workers pressed the molten opaque white glass into intricate molds and then carefully hand-finished the open edges.
Families used these bowls as centerpieces on dining tables to hold fruit or flowers during special meals. They were popular wedding gifts and holiday display pieces throughout the middle decades of the twentieth century. Production of this type of decorative glassware eventually slowed down as manufacturing costs rose and popular tastes shifted toward modern designs.
