Jenny Lind Bowl/Tealight Holder

Jenny Lind Bowl/Tealight Holder

$38.00

A vintage design, resurrected in 2023 using our antique glass press. This product doubles as a useful small bowl and a tealight candle holder. It was originally created as a custard bowl in the honor of Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish opera singer of the 1850s, who traveled with PT Barnum and became one of the the richest women of her time. It features an intricate 3-dimensional design that emulates cut crystal.

AO Glass inherited the mold for this bowl by chance when we purchased our 1880s side-arm glass press, the “101.” According to our research, the Jenny Lind bowl was produced in the 1950s, just around the time that American glass-pressing was starting to wind down. What was once a booming industry of 400+ press factories in the US dwindled to just a handful of remaining shops. AO Glass is honored to bring this piece of history back into production.

Our glassware is crafted in small batches, so orders may take up to 7 days to ship. Please contact us with any questions.
