Description
From the 1930s, manufactured by the Ilguciems Glass Factory, beautiful pink glass serving bowl, handmade and just gorgeous with its 3 feet. Measures 10 cm high and 19 cm at the top diameter. In excellent condition.
One of the pioneers of glass making in Riga was Jakob Beck’s glass factory founded in Ilguciems in 1886. It was at the Ilguciems Glass Factory that the foundations were laid for the industrial production of a diverse and high-quality glass tableware and other glass objects in Latvia. In the mid-1930s, Ilguciems Glass Factory was the first in Latvia, Northern Europe, to start cooperating with professional artists in the development of high-quality, decorative glass items that would reflect the fashion trends of the time. The experience of the 1930s allowed the factory to produce, besides standard mass production, artistically high-quality items, even during the Soviet era. In the 1950s, the company launched cooperation with glass artists and students of the Art Academy of Latvia, thus promoting the development of glass art in Latvia. The factory’s glassware is still stored in museum collections, private collections and in the homes of many families.
