Description

Imperial Cathay Satin Glass Dragon Dish

Rare 1940’s Coiled Dragon Bowl. This fabulous satin glass dragon bowl hails from Imperial Glass’s “Cathay” line produced in the late 1950’s.The Cathay line consisted of a few oriental style decor objects which are all hard to find today. The Dragon Bowl is EXTREMELY hard to find.

Trailing behind his head is his wings that are folded into his body (hard to see). Thick, heavy, excellent quality vintage Imperial glass with matte satin surface. Flat polished base, no mark. Cathay items were usually signed, some were not. This is not signed. Imperial Glass was an elegant maker of the past, no longer in business.

Light bottom-wear with 1 tiny, thin sliver on seat of base, the sliver is impossible to detect unless turned upside down, too small to show up on camera. So miniscule, it can’t be classified as damage, more of a bottom-wear issue. Measures 6″ wide, 2.25″ tall to the tip of dragon’s head, weighs 1.5 lbs.
