Please enlarge the photos to view this rare, oversized mid-century modern art glass centerpiece platter crafted by the legendary studio of Michael and Frances Higgins. Produced in the early 1960s, this massive statement piece features an iconic, highly sought-after "Atomic Triangle" mosaic pattern. The design showcases a vibrant layout of pastel pink, aqua blue, retro yellow, and avocado green glass triangles adorned with delicate white and black enamel starburst line work.
With its impressive 2.75-inch depth and dramatic wavy form, this is a true centerpiece bowl/platter rather than a standard flat tray.

Condition Report
This beautiful piece is in Very Good Vintage Condition with beautiful clarity and no repairs. The longer side edges are completely smooth. The shorter sides are "wavier" to the touch. I feel one or two flea bites on one side, but could only visualize one (see photo).
- Surface: There is a light, minor 1/2-inch superficial surface scratch in the clear glass section from age-appropriate handling. It does not distract from display. Adjacent to this scratch is a small area on which I feel slightly rough spots, but cannot visualize them. The etched signature appears underneath this area. See photo.
- Structure: There is an original, internal kiln-firing fusion line trapped deep within the glass layers. This is completely smooth to the touch on both the top and bottom surfaces, which is a standard and authentic characteristic of early Higgins hand-fused studio glass.
Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they form part of the condition description.
This piece will be shipped with care from my smoke-free home.
