Vintage Milk Glass “Open Edge” Pedestal Ribbon Compote Bowl — Anchor Hocking Era, c. 1950s

This exquisite white milk glass pedestal bowl captures the timeless romance of mid-century American design. Featuring a delicate open-loop lace edge and softly flared bowl on a sturdy footed base, it evokes elegance from the 1950s – 60s Fenton Glass Company era. Perfect for holding wrapped candies, dried florals, or simply reflecting candlelight, its glossy opaque finish brings a moonlit glow to any room. Each arch along the rim showcases handcrafted artistry that has made milk glass a beloved collectible for generations.

Approx. 3 1/2” tall × 7”wide. Weight ≈ 1 lb 7 oz.

Milk glass first flourished in the late 19th century but reached peak popularity in the 1950s when makers like Fenton, Westmoreland, and Indiana Glass reintroduced it for the modern home. The lace-edge or “open-loop” design echoed Victorian silverwork patterns while giving affordable glamour to post-war households. Collectors prize these bowls today for their versatility — displayed with fruit, used as centerpieces, or staged under cloches for seasonal décor.
• Display seasonal potpourri or ornaments.
• Use as a pedestal stand for pillar candles or soaps.
• Create a vintage dessert or trifle dish for special gatherings.
• Incorporate into a Halloween or gothic tablescape for The Raven’s Manor aesthetic.
