This is such a pretty piece. The handles are lovely. The gold filled etch is nicely set off by the pink colour of the glass.
The line is #3400/1182 and the etch is #746 Gloria decorated with gold.

Isn’t this pretty? Caught my eye immediately. The etching couldn’t be called anything other than ‘Deco’ something.
I have one book on Lancaster – Lancaster Glass Company 1908-1937 by John Zastowney. I was fortunate to find this pattern in the book.
Mr. Zastowney, who gave this etch its name, reports that the etch was introduced in 1929. Deco Brocade was produced on Lancaster’s line 832-835 and Petal – 1830 line. This piece is from the Petal line and is piece #1830/2, a mint bowl. Imagine having a special bowl for mints! The Petal line was introduced in 1931.
Mr. Zastowney provides Lancaster’s line numbering system. A piece with the designation of /2 after its line number – such as Petal #1830/2 – indicates that this is “a bowl, console or compote usually with a horizontal flange, which can be footed and/or handled; this number was also used for cupped, handled mayonnaise bowls.”
Lancaster had two shades of ‘pink’. One, as seen on this piece was called ‘Pink’. The other was called ‘Rose’.

It seems like a very long time ago that I was antiquing in the US to purchase this pretty little piece. Actually just being in the US was over a year ago. We had to cancel our trip to Cambridge Ohio where I was going to attend my first Cambridge Glass Convention. Oh well, my credit card was spared I guess. Next year!
This is a pretty little piece with #327 Navarre. Love the handles.
