Fostoria Heirloom White Opalescent Centerpiece Bowl

There are certain pieces that seem to hold light itself — and this exquisite Fostoria Heirloom centerpiece bowl is one of them.
Made in the early 1950s, when American glassmakers were at their most daring and imaginative, this sculptural vessel captures the ethereal quality of opalescence — the soft dance between misty white, translucent blue, and warm gold.

Every curve and ripple of its ruffled edge feels alive, like seafoam frozen in time. The glass glows differently throughout the day: cool and serene in the morning light, romantic and luminous in the evening. Designed to be as much art as function, it reflects the Fostoria Glass Company’s mastery of form and finish — each bowl individually hand-shaped to emphasize its organic flow.

Display it as a centerpiece on a dining or console table, or let it rest quietly in a sunlit room, where its edges can catch the light and fill the space with gentle radiance.
