Celery Dish, Indiana Glass, Pretzel Pattern, Olive Green Pressed Glass, Oval, USA, Vintage 1970s

Pretzel lines in olive green (aka avocado green) — the color that defined American kitchens in 1970 and reads just as naturally on a modern table that knows what it's doing.

Indiana Glass reissued the Pretzel pattern in the late 1960s through the 1970s in new colorways, and the olive green version — item number 1945 in the Indiana Glass 1978 catalog — is the most distinctly of its era. The warm, muted green has an earthiness that the clear and carnival versions don't, making it a natural companion to wood, linen, and autumnal table settings. The oval form holds celery, asparagus, bread, crackers, olives, or nuts with ease; three together create a lovely buffet utensil arrangement. The clear and amber carnival versions are also available in the shop.

A beautiful choice for a fall or year-round table with a warm, gathered aesthetic. A thoughtful hostess gift for anyone who collects vintage American glass or decorates with deliberate retro intention.
