Set of 3 Vintage IVIMA Blue Glass Dessert Bowls, 1960s

This set of three vintage dessert bowls showcases the timeless beauty of mid-century Portuguese glass design. Produced in the 1960s by IVIMA (Industria Vidreira do Marinha Grande), these bowls are crafted from transparent textured blue glass, a style strongly reminiscent of Scandinavian glassware of the same era. Their elegant form and striking color make them both practical tableware and collectible decorative pieces. Each bowl is marked on the base with “Brasil”, likely referring to the collection name, which adds to their authenticity and historic charm. The bowls remain in their original condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations, making them highly desirable for collectors of vintage Portuguese glass. Their textured surface beautifully reflects the light, enhancing the vibrant blue tone and creating a unique mid-century modern look. Designed with functionality in mind, these dessert bowls are also stackable, allowing for easy storage without compromising their aesthetic appeal. Glass production has played a crucial role in Portugal’s history, particularly in Marinha Grande, the country’s glassmaking capital since the 18th century. Known for its skilled artisans and innovative techniques, this region became home to renowned companies like IVIMA, whose pieces are now sought after worldwide. Today, vintage IVIMA glassware stands as a testament to Portugal’s rich craft tradition and enduring design legacy. Dimensions: Diameter: 9 cm Height: 5,5 cm Material: Glass
