Black Amethyst & 1 Clear Parasol Bowls
Product Description
A flawless an elegant Black Glass Amethyst Parasol Bowl is surely a collector’s choice. Nearly opaque in its intense red & purple, it weakens under a strong light revealing its true color.
From the 1960s and made by the Westmoreland Glass Company out of Pennsylvania (base pontil is smooth & refined) that was historically known for its milk glass*.
Also included is a Clear Glass Parasol Bowl of same shape and similar to height. It’s nearly unblemished for its age and the remarks in Condition below will explain what’s viewed.
*Interest in the milk glass pieces Westmoreland specialized in just wasn’t there. On January 8, 1984, almost 100 years after its founding, the factory shut down production.

Product Quantity: Only 1 set in stock. Set includes 1 Black and 1 Clear Parasol Bowls.
Condition: Very Good! The Black Amethyst Parasol Bowl is similar to when new but of vintage.
The Clear Parasol bowl is in similar condition to the Black Amethyst Bowl though there is 1 minor scratch (1/8”) that can be felt by the finger nail, as too can be seen if viewed up-close and directly. Possibly 1 or 2 more very minor scratches are in this near perfect glass and are invisible to anyone viewing from outside or inside, but I did find them. These could be polished out though I doubt anyone would see them. I’ll report what I find even if very minor. Many don’t since vintage will have use and so it often not stated.
