Rare Vintage Cadmium Gold Amberina Glass Pedestal Dish

Vintage glass pedestal dish with decorative detailing. The dish is made of rare cadmium amberina glass, which gives it a rich, deep red hue. Depending on light exposure, cadmium glass exhibits different shades, beautifully glowing orange under UV light.

Amberina glass is a type of decorative glass distinguished by a gradient color transition from red or ruby-red to amber (golden-yellow). This effect is achieved by adding gold to the glass mixture and using a special cooling and reheating process during production.

The dish stands on an elegant, smooth pedestal that slightly flares at the bottom for stability. The edge has a scalloped or ruffled finish, adding to its decorative appeal. The surface features embossed swirls and raised dots, giving it a textured look.

The dish was likely made using a mold, a common method in vintage glassware production. It is rather substantial one.

This type of dish was often used for serving desserts, fruits, or candies, and was a popular choice in Midcentury and Art Deco tableware.

It is a collectible vintage piece.
