A representative example of late 20th-century decorative arts, this matched glass set was produced by Nouveau Art Glass Co. under the Rueven name. Distributed as part of the "Israeli Originals" line out of New Jersey, Rueven glass is recognized for its impressionistic, watercolor application of color. The set retains its original presentation card, verifying its provenance and serving as an excellent reference point for collectors of the era's art glass.
The pairing includes a lidded ginger jar and a low bowl, both finished in a frosted satin texture. Sweeping, organic shapes in muted tones of amethyst, seafoam green, pink, and gold encompass the exterior. The soft diffusion of light through the matte finish highlights the layered application of the pastel pigments.
