Hazel Atlas Seashell Pattern Capri Blue Bowl Set

This shimmering set of deep-aquamarine colored bowls were made by the Hazel Atlas Co. in the 1950's and the 60's after it was owned by Continental Can. There are four small berry bowls and one large serving bowl and the electric blue color goes all the way through the glass.
