Tiffin Black Satin Glass Bowl and Candlesticks Set Gold Amethyst Etched

Tiffin Black Satin Amethyst Glass Console Bowl and Candlesticks Set 1930s Gold Encrusted Etched Depression Era Hollywood Regency Deco. Set Includes: One console bowl and two matching candlesticks. Material: Black amethyst glass (appears black in normal light, deep purple in bright backlight).

Surface Finish: Satin (acid-etched velvety matte texture). Decoration: Wide 24k gold encrusted etched band in neoclassical scrollwork pattern. Production Method: Mold-blown, no pontil (consistent with Tiffin production).

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with expected light wear to gold; no cracks, chips, or repairs. Tiffin's black satin glass line represents the peak of Depression-era elegance. During the 1930s, these pieces were designed to mimic the appearance of luxurious onyx and bronze but were made in richly tinted black amethyst glass with a soft matte finish. The generous gold encrusted decoration-applied by acid-stenciling and often hand-finished-helped transition these pieces into the emerging Hollywood Regency and Neoclassical revival styles of the 1940s. It bridges Art Deco geometry with Rococo elegance, making it a desirable crossover collectible for both American Depression glass collectors and modern luxury decorators.
