Scandinavian pressed molded glass sunflower plate

Translucent molded glass dish in amber hue (glass tinted in the mass). Large circular dish with a cut-out edge, representing a stylized flower. The central basin is slightly recessed and surrounded by radiating relief petals. Wavy free edge following the floral design. Manufactured by industrial molding, probably in a metal mold. The reliefs of the petals and the veins were obtained directly during molding. Polished finish upon leaving the mold. This is not blown glass but a piece of molded artistic glassware. Naturalistic decoration inspired by the sunflower. The ribbed petals radiate around a darker textured central heart, creating an effect of depth and realism. The amber coloration enhances the play of light and the transparency of the glass. Second half of the 20th century, likely 1960s-1970s. Scandinavian production, probably Swedish. Very good overall condition, with no reported accidents. * Diameter: 40 cm. * Height: 5 cm.
