{"product_id":"master-bowl-dessert-set","title":"Crown Crystal Australia 'Harlequin' No. 1522 Depression Glass Dessert Set, 7 Pieces, Art Deco, c.1930s, Made in Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dessert set that has survived intact through nearly a century is worth pausing over. This seven-piece Crown Crystal 'Harlequin' suite — Pattern No. 1522, pressed in Sydney in the 1930s — is exactly that: a master serving bowl and six individual dessert bowls, all in the same geometric Art Deco design, all structurally sound, all still doing what they were made to do. The pattern is one of Crown Crystal's most recognisable — alternating polished panels and sweeping stylised arches with a scalloped rim, elevated on three integrated glass peg feet. Originally sold as a seven-piece berry or ice cream suite, this set of seven is complete. The six small bowls include five in the characteristic cool translucent green of Depression-era Australian production, plus one in clear glass — the same Harlequin No. 1522 pattern, included free to complete the set. The green pressed glass works beautifully against a white tablecloth or a dark timber sideboard; the clear bowl adds a quiet point of difference on the table. Note: four of the five green small bowls show a slightly lighter green hue than the master bowl and the fifth green small bowl — a natural result of batch variation in Depression-era manufacturing, and a characteristic that collectors recognise as authentic rather than problematic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore clear Harlequin No. 1522 bowls are available — contact us if you'd like additional pieces.
