Large fruit bowl in peach colored "Manganese" glass, circa 1940s-50s.

Stands 2 ¾" tall, 10 ¼" wide, the base is 3 ¾" wide. The bowl appears to have been made by pouring glass mass into a mold and applying an industrial press. The bowl does not bear the maker's mark but the manufacturing technique and design are strongly reminiscent of the 1KDO Glass Factory which, in the 1920s-50s mass-produced household glassware to meet the growing demand of the young Soviet market.

In excellent condition. There's only minimal use wear in the form of tiny scuffs and hairline scratches, hardly noticeable and not at all detractive.

The name of the factory, "1КДО" (1KDO) is the acronym of its full name "имени Первого Коммунистического Добровольческого Отряда" ("First Communist Volunteer Unit") given it after the October Revolution. Before then it was well-known in Russia as one of the two glass factories of the Kurzhenkov brothers, who founded it in 1878 in the village of Malaya Vishera in the Novgorod Region. The factories specialized in household and commercial glassware.

Please note that the fruit in our photo is for size reference.
