This graceful pressed-glass vessel, now named Athena, carries the quiet strength and timeless elegance of mid-century craftsmanship. Its octagonal silhouette, faceted panels, and soft peach-apricot hue are reminiscent of the work of American glassmakers such as Indiana Glass and Anchor Hocking — artisans who infused everyday pieces with beauty, light, and refinement.
Originally created as a decorative bowl or vanity piece, Athena was designed to brighten a room through shape and color alone. Now reimagined as a hand-poured candle, she glows from within, illuminating her sculpted sides and casting warm, delicate reflections outward. Her presence feels both serene and powerful — a small, radiant heirloom echoing the strength of her name.
Revived by House of Eugenie, Athena becomes a symbol of grace, light, and mid-century artistry renewed for the modern home.
