This item is a vintage Arcopal smoked glass serving bowl. The Arcopal material is a specific type of durable, tempered opal glass manufactured by the French company ARC International (now Arc Holdings).
It is made of fully tempered glass that is break-resistant, chip-proof, and lightweight. The tempering process makes it highly durable and more resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks than traditional china. This specific dish features a popular 1970s "smoked glass" or "amber" finish. While the original Arcopal was famous for its translucent white opal glass, the company also produced many items in coloured glass.
The material is non-porous, which makes it hygienic and prevents bacteria from accumulating. It is designed for multi-purpose use, including baking, serving, and mixing.
The dish is in very good usable condition with no chips or cracks.
Height: 6 cm, Dimensions: 31.5 cm x 24.5 cm
