Description
This Ritts Astrolite bowl features the instantly recognizable freeform shape and crystal clear acrylic material that makes it sought after among mid-mod design enthusiasts. The bowl measures 10-3/4” long by 9-3/4 wide by 3” high and it likely dates from the early 1970’s. The condition is excellent, considering its age, with only a few light scratches near the bottom that could be removed with buffing.
About the Maker
A registered trademark of Herbert Ritts, Inc., the term “Astrolite” refers to items of furniture and decor offered by the company, beginning in 1969, that are made entirely or largely out of a high quality acrylic resin. The Ritts family company produced a wide variety of items in their highly successful Astrolite line, including bowls, lamps, sculpture, centerpieces and other decor. The exceptional craftsmanship, lasting crystal-clarity of their materials and iconic design make their products among the most desirable and collectable of acrylic wares dating from the midcentury modern period.
