Description:

A wide bowl with a diameter of 31 centimeters and a height of 7 centimeters, on three hexagonal feet. The relief decor consists of three large loops, each surrounded by rings that widen toward the rim. The round facets under the bowl are finely stippled. The glass is pressed. The feet are solid and a deeper amber color. In the 1935 catalog, Rotterdam is listed as a service with three-footed bowls in several sizes.

About the maker:

In the 1930s Walther released large pressed glass services, including Rotterdam, with bowls, can, butter dish and carafe.
