Gorgeous HUGE Square Milk glass fruit bowl - And how we found it

Just when I wrote off certain neighborhoods as being "bad vintage", I found this enormous milk glass fruit bowl in the attic at a house contents sale where the other floors were full of nuttin' much. She said, "including attic" and up I went.

The only light was from a small little bulb on one end and the little ventillation window on the other other. You know that hot, dusty attic smell that catches your breath? There I was. I rooted through tons and tons of papers, plastic and empty boxes and found just a few little gems..this was one.

It didn't LOOK like milk glass...it was pretty brown and dusty, but I knew that what was underneath was spectacular!

Sure enough, a good washing brought out a sweet centerpiece that is both vintage and timeless.

It's a little over 10" square, and is in good vintage condition. Issues: small hairline crack on one edge and a few "flea bite" chips on undersides of lacey opening. We've priced to reflect it's less than perfect condition. I love how the sides are fluted and slightly crimped and the edges look lacey but not too-too fussy. An elegant piece for your tabletop, dresser or vintage inspired office! We are offering this pretty piece at $18.50 plus shipping, and checkout is easy, here: at our vintage decor shop at Etsy! Here are additional photos.
