Vintage Black Glass Trinket Dish with Center Handle. Measures 5 1/2" across. Excellent condition.
This striking trinket dish is crafted from black amethyst glass, a fascinating material that appears opaque black until it catches the light, revealing its true, deep violet soul. Measuring five and a half inches across, the dish features a classic center handle, a design element popular in mid-century vanity and serving pieces. The handle is seamlessly integrated into the body of the dish, providing a sculptural verticality to the otherwise low, sleek profile.
This piece is a quintessential addition to a Dark Academia or Gothic Revival collection. Its moody, near-black hue and heavy glass weight make it a perfect "curiosity" for a desk or vanity, ideal for holding vintage nibs, wax seals, or small jewelry pieces. The polished surface has a mirror-like quality that adds a touch of somber elegance to any dark wood surface. In excellent condition, this dish shows no chips or scratches, maintaining the brilliant luster that makes black amethyst glass so highly sought after by collectors of "depression-era" style glassware. It is a sophisticated, functional work of art that balances mystery with mid-century utility.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old.
