History: This octagonal lidded glass dish was produced by Arcoroc, a French manufacturer synonymous with toughened utility glass that balanced style and performance. The piece reflects the minimalist, functional design ethos of the late 20th century, aimed at everyday elegance. Its geometric lines and brilliant clarity made it equally at home on vanities, in kitchens, or as a small serving or candy dish.
 
 
Although mass-produced, Arcoroc's glassware has become increasingly collectible, especially now that many of its iconic lines are discontinued. This piece's octagonal shaping and clean faceted lid are distinctive and desirable traits among collectors of vintage French or Euro-modern glass.
