Schaal - Rookbruin 'Ananas' with diamond relief, Art Deco • Copier for Leerdam (attributed) • 1930s - Glass

An Art Deco bowl in smoked-brown glass, model Ananas, attributed to Andries Copier for Glasfabriek Leerdam. The relief distinguishes it: a twisted ring of diamond facets frames a hexagon with six rays on the bottom. The glass runs from honey at the rim to deep chocolate brown in the center.

Attribution and sources:

Attributed to Andries Copier for Glasfabriek Leerdam, on the basis of the bottom star, facet ring, and shape that match comparison specimens of the Ananas model. A brand is missing and museum documentation has not been found; the attribution rests on trade sources. The Ananas from Kristalunie Maastricht is a tableware pattern for drinkware and thus a different model.
