The Fostoria Heirloom Orange Bittersweet MCM Oval Bowl is a vintage piece of American-made glassware from the 1960s. This decorative bowl in the Mid-Century Modern style features a glossy orange finish, making it perfect for all occasions. With its elegant design and vintage charm, this Fostoria bowl adds a touch of retro flair to any space, whether used as a serving piece or as a decorative accent. Hand wash only to maintain its original beauty. It is in excellent condition. Measures 12 1/2" wide x 5". I don't know what it is used for as it has a knob or peg in the center. Beautiful piece of mid century glass. Thank you for viewing my auction and Happy Bidding! Michael
