Description: Antique Sawtooth Edge Glass Bowl (purple hue)* Ca 1890sVery good used condition without chips, nicks or cracks.Approximately 11 inches wide and 3-1/2 inches tall I am downsizing my antique collected to make room for more books.I bought this items at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire back in May of 2016 and it's been behind glass ever since. I've included the business card from the dealer that appraised it. *What makes some old glass turn purple? Solarization of GlassIt is a photochemical phenomenon that is not yet perfectly understood. It is generally accepted that the ultra-violet light initiates an electron exchange between the manganese and iron ions. This changes the manganese compound into a form that causes the glass to turn purple. Thank you for looking.
