Candy Dish: Studio Nova / Mikasa, Frosted Apple Shaped Crystal, Japan, 1980s

This is one apple the teacher will surely love.  A frosted crystal apple, from Studio Nova's playful Apple Delight collection, brings a bit of Mikasa's style-forward polish to any tabletop.

• Maker: Studio Nova (Mikasa family of brands)
• Materials: Frosted Crystal
• Dimensions:
• Origin: Japan

The dish is shaped like a whole apple, with frosted glass leaves accenting the top and bottom, with a textured cross-hatch pattern cut into the body of the bowl — a design that plays with light and adds a bit of visual texture without overwhelming the simple apple silhouette.

A pretty little addition to a fall table or entryway catch-all, and an easy teacher or hostess gift on its own. Beyond its obvious life as a candy or nut dish, it works just as well for olives, dried fruit, or even bath salts and guest soaps.

Studio Nova was introduced by Mikasa in 1984 as a style-forward line aimed at shoppers looking for the kind of design polish once reserved for higher-end tableware, at a more accessible price point. This piece comes from the brand's Apple Delight collection, built around the wholesome, orchard-inspired imagery popular in home decor throughout the '80s and '90s.
