Antique 1930s Federal Glass Sharon Amber Cabbage Rose Oval Bowl Depression Era
This antique amber yellow floral glass bowl by Federal Glass is part of the Sharon Amber collection in the Cabbage Rose pattern. The oval form features gently flared sides and a softly rounded rim, with finely etched cabbage rose florals wrapping the interior walls and base. The warm amber yellow glass creates a rich golden glow when light passes through, giving the bowl classic Depression Era character.
Produced during the Depression Era, circa 1935–1939, this piece reflects Federal Glass Company’s blend of decorative refinement and everyday practicality. The romantic Cabbage Rose motif paired with amber-toned pressed glass makes the Sharon Amber line especially appealing to collectors of early American glass.
Highly appealing to collectors of antique Depression glass and Federal Glass tableware, this bowl works beautifully as a fruit bowl, serving dish, vanity catchall, or display accent, making it a desirable addition to curated vintage glass collections.
Why It’s Special?
The Sharon Amber Cabbage Rose pattern was discontinued, and intact examples in well-preserved condition are becoming increasingly difficult to source. Its detailed floral etching combined with warm amber yellow glass sets it apart from more common Depression glass patterns, giving it lasting collector appeal.
