The frosted finish diffuses light rather than reflecting it — place near a window for a soft blue glow that changes with the hour. Pairs with linen, raw wood, and anything the ocean touched.

ProvenanceMid-20th century American art glass, likely 1950s–1960s.

Hand wash only in cool water with a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh detergents, and prolonged soaking. Not dishwasher safe. Keep away from extreme temperature changes — satin glass can lose its finish under thermal shock. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to preserve the matte lustre. Handle by the base when possible.
