Collectible Federal Glass Design
Federal Glass Company (1900-1980) was a leading American glassmaker known for innovative patterns and finishes. The Petal pattern with its atomic starburst motif epitomizes 1960s design, while the iridescent carnival glass finish creates the signature rainbow shimmer that made these pieces instant classics. Today, Federal Glass remains highly collectible for its quality and mid-century appeal.
Iridescent Atomic Starburst Pattern
The pressed glass features a radiating starburst design that captures and reflects light in brilliant rainbow hues. The iridescent finish—often called carnival glass—creates a luminous, color-shifting effect that adds visual drama to any table setting. Each petal of the starburst pattern is precisely molded, showcasing Federal Glass's attention to detail.
Removable Silver Handle
The decorative silver-toned center handle unscrews for easy cleaning and compact storage. This practical design element also allows you to use the tray with or without the handle, offering versatile styling options for different occasions.
