Amber-yellow clear pressed glass, 36 × 22 × 9 cm, resting on four cushion-like feet, with two laterally rolled volute handles as a typical identifying feature of the shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe bowl dates from the heyday of German Art Deco pressed glass and is documented in the 1937 Walther pattern book under catalogue number 22005. The decor is consistently geometric: on the underside of the base, a raised quatrefoil cross with a central oval medallion from which four block-shaped cross-shaped bars radiate, flanked by four large arched lobes. On the inside of the wall, fan-like arched bundles open towards the rim; the outer wall is structured by vertical flutes. The differing glass volume in relief zones, feet and handles creates the warm interplay of light and dark for which Walther pressed glass is known — in thin zones, the bowl glows golden yellow; in solid areas, the tone deepens to warm amber-brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe \"Irene\" model series was produced in several colour variants – in addition to the amber presented here, also in green, blue and clear. The amber version (also known as \"Butterscotch\" in contemporary Walther terminology) is one of the manufacturer's classic colours and was included in the range from 1932. The bowl does not bear a pressed-in factory mark – Walther \u0026amp; Söhne usually marked their pressed glass from the 1930s with paper adhesive labels, which were mostly lost in the decades that followed. The clear attribution is made via the shape, the decor and comparison with the documented pattern book entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eWhether on a sideboard as a fruit bowl, on the coffee table as a serving dish, or as a central piece of a laid table, the bowl immediately asserts its presence. Collectors of Art Deco pressed glass and Walther manufactured pieces will find a documented model here in the sought-after amber colour variant. The condition is very good: no chips on the wavy rim, all four feet and both volute handles fully intact, no scratch grid in the base, no dishwasher dullness, no cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"August Walter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53408843137371,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/IMG_5814.png?v=1781872365","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/art-deco-pressglas-schale-irene-walther-soehne-bernstein-1937","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
