A classic example of durable French glassware, this Arcoroc amber glass set captures the warm, honeyed glow that defined so many 1970s tablescapes. The collection includes 4 bowls with matching saucers, 2 additional bowls, and 8 side plates, all designed for everyday versatility — perfect for serving cereal, soup, or dessert.
Renowned for their virtually indestructible tempered glass, Arcoroc pieces were crafted to withstand daily use while maintaining their elegant simplicity. This set remains in excellent vintage condition, offering a wonderful balance of nostalgia, functionality, and enduring style.
Founded in France in 1958 as part of the Arc International group, Arcoroc specialised in producing high-quality tempered glassware for both domestic and commercial use. Their innovative glass-hardening process made the brand synonymous with strength, clarity, and timeless design. From cafés to family homes, Arcoroc’s iconic amber, smoked, and clear glass lines became staples of mid-century and retro dining culture, prized today for their durability and retro aesthetic.
