Vintage Arcoroc France Cobalt Blue Pressed Glass Serving Bowl/Platter

This is a large, vibrant Cobalt Blue pressed glass serving bowl, measuring 33cm in diameter. The item features a sophisticated 'sunburst' or 'starburst' geometric pattern radiating from a central circular focal point. The design incorporates intricate diamond-point texturing within leaf-shaped panels, alternating with embossed six-pointed stars and fan-like fluting toward the scalloped rim. Produced in France, most likely by Arcoroc (J.G. Durand/Cristal d'Arques), the piece is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century European glassware, specifically the 1970s or 1980s. The material is a thick, translucent tempered glass known for its durability. The color is a deep, consistent cobalt blue throughout. While the 'France' stamp confirms its origin, the piece displays high-quality mold work with sharp, crisp lines in the pattern. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks on the scalloped edges, though minor surface scratches consistent with shelf wear and utility may be present under industrial lighting. A retail sticker from a secondary market vendor is currently affixed to the center well. The scalloped edge transition is smooth, indicating a high-standard manufacturing process typical of French soda-lime glass production from this era.
