The set includes one large serving bowl accompanied by six individual berry or dessert bowls, all formed in opaque white glass with deeply molded floral and leaf decoration and softly scalloped rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wild Rose pattern transforms the entire surface of each bowl into ornament. Raised leaves and naturalistic forms emerge directly from the glass, while the irregular scalloped edges give the pieces an almost botanical quality. The monochromatic white milk glass allows the relief itself to define the decoration, creating a collection that is simultaneously practical, tactile, and sculptural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSets such as this belong to an important chapter in the history of the 20th-century American table. Advances in industrial pressed-glass production made it possible to manufacture highly decorative forms in quantity, bringing elaborate tableware into ordinary homes at prices far removed from hand-cut crystal or fine porcelain. Companies such as Indiana Glass participated in a broader transformation of domestic material culture, in which objects designed for everyday use could also carry strong pattern, texture, and visual identity. Indiana Glass itself was a major American manufacturer whose production shifted toward individual product numbers after the 1960s, reflecting the increasingly systematized production and marketing of household glassware.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilk glass was particularly suited to this new domestic landscape. Its opaque surface evoked earlier porcelain and ceramic serving pieces while retaining the durability and reproducibility of molded glass. By the mid-20th century, it had become part of a highly recognizable language of American entertaining, appearing in serving dishes, bowls, compotes, cake stands, and decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between the large communal bowl and the six matching individual bowls is also significant. It reflects a way of organizing the table around coordinated service, where one preparation moved from a central serving vessel into identical individual portions. Fruit, berries, gelatin desserts, puddings, and other dishes could be presented as part of a complete visual system rather than in unrelated pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, this seven-piece set can be appreciated both as functional vintage tableware and as an artifact of domestic material culture. Its repetition, uniform color, and variation of scale give the group a strong presence when displayed together, while its original function recalls a period when even the serving of a simple bowl of fruit or dessert was supported by a specialized and coordinated set of objects. Comparable seven-piece Wild Rose milk glass sets are consistently identified in the secondary market as Indiana Glass and dated to the 1960s.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003eSmall Bowl D 4.5 x W 4.5 x H 2.25\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1stDibs reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e LU10969251055952\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 2 × W 9 × D 9 IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e GOOD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50273646543087,"sku":"LU10969251055952","price":968.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/f_51055952_1784415328974_bg_processed.jpg?v=1785434517","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/vintage-indiana-glass-wild-rose-milk-glass-seven-piece-bowl-set-1960s-51055952","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
