Viking Glass Company was an American manufacturer of pressed and blown glass, operating from New Martinsville, West Virginia, from 1944 to 1984. They were particularly known for their vibrant colors and distinctive mid-century modern designs, often featuring organic shapes and heavy glass. Their pieces are highly sought after by collectors of American art glass.

This particular style of freeform, asymmetrical bowl, often referred to as a "whimsey" or "freeform" piece, was popular during the 1950s and 1960s. The "amethyst" color is one of Viking's signature hues, and the "Flying Nun" designation refers to a specific shape that resembles a nun's habit, often seen in their console sets or individual bowls.
