Divided Serving Tray, Indiana Glass, Fruits, Embossed 5-Section, Amber Pressed Glass, USA, Vintage 1970s

The same five embossed fruits — but in honey amber glass, and considerably harder to find than the clear version.

Indiana Glass produced the Fruits tray in the 1970s in several colors, and amber was among the least common. The warm golden tone transforms what would be a straightforward pressed glass piece into something that genuinely glows on an autumn table. Five sections — one large center with grapes, cherries, and strawberries; four smaller ones with pear, apple, peach, and plums — all in beautifully detailed relief. Fluted sides, three glass bead handles, smooth interior, textured non-slip underside. The clear and avocado green versions are also available in the shop. Priced higher than its siblings to reflect its relative rarity.

A natural centerpiece for a fall charcuterie spread or a harvest table. Beautiful filled with cheeses, crackers, olives, and seasonal fruits. A particularly thoughtful hostess gift for anyone who decorates seasonally and collects American glassware — rare colors are always the ones collectors regret not buying.
