Soviet 24 Percent Lead Crystal Pressed Glass Bowl – Heavy Rectangle Dish – Made in USSR – 8 Inch x 5 Inch – Excellent Condition
$42.00
Looking for a gift with character and a bit of history behind it? This vintage 24% lead crystal bowl was made in the former USSR during the 1970s or 1980s—back when pressed glass was designed to look like hand-cut crystal but made in a way that was practical and affordable for Soviet households. It’s a beautiful and solid piece, made before the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. The pattern features bold floral and starburst motifs pressed deep into the glass, giving it lots of sparkle when reflecting light. Though it isn’t cut glass, the craftsmanship has a charm all its own. This is the kind of gift that feels personal, not mass-produced—and it’s got just enough backstory to make it a great conversation piece, too.
