Mikasa Holiday Bells Frosted and Hand Painted Glass Bowl

A decorative glass bowl featuring a winter holiday theme, characteristic of the 'Holiday Bells' pattern by Mikasa. This piece is constructed from heavy-pressed lead crystal or high-quality glass with a scalloped, undulating rim. The exterior exhibits a high-relief embossed design consisting of frosted white wedding/holiday bells, textured pine needles, and holly leaves. Significant aesthetic value is added through hand-painted accents: vivid red ribbons and berries, along with translucent green pine sprigs. The craftsmanship shows a combination of molded texture and delicate surface coloring. In terms of condition, the glass retains excellent clarity with no visible chips or cracks on the scalloped edges. The paint appears mostly intact, though slight shelf wear may be present on the base. This style of festive glassware was highly popular in the late 20th century, specifically the 1980s through the 1990s. The piece serves as a medium-sized centerpiece bowl or a candy dish, showcasing a blend of frosted and transparent finishes that interact beautifully with light.
