Rockwell Black Amethyst Glass Bowl with Sterling Silver Overlay — Signed Floral Design
A striking signed black amethyst glass bowl by the Rockwell Silver Company, showcasing their hallmark sterling silver overlay technique. This mid-century piece features a dense and highly detailed floral vine motif in bright sterling overlay, elegantly contrasted against deep black glass that reveals a rich purple hue when held to light. The oval form is scalloped at the rim and finished with a sterling band. Signed on the base with the etched Rockwell shield mark.
Produced by Rockwell of Meriden, Connecticut—renowned for their silver overlay glass from the early to mid-20th century—this piece reflects the Art Deco and transitional styling that made their work collectible. Likely dating from the 1930s–1950s, it demonstrates the company’s mastery of electroplated silverwork over premium glass, often sourced from top American glasshouses of the period.
A sophisticated accent piece or collectible centerpiece, this bowl blends historic charm with enduring decorative appeal.
