Federal Glass was a key player in America’s mid-century kitchenware scene, operating out of Columbus, Ohio from the early 1900s through the late 1970s. The Connoisseur pattern, sometimes nicknamed the “Sunflower” or “Lollipop” motif, is celebrated for its atomic-era blend of stylized nature and symmetry. Produced during the golden age of milk glass, this pattern appeals to both collectors and cottagecore enthusiasts alike.
