Arcopal salad bowl for Codec stores

Bowl made by arcopal factories for codec stores, 60s and 70s, made of smoked glass. Has some very light wear marks due to use. History: Arcopal: arcopal was born in 1958, when we evoke it, we think solidity, simplicity and... Childhood memories. A historical mark of arc international, if arc, the arques crystal factory, was born in 1825, it was not until 1958 that the opal manufacturing process was discovered and deposited as a trademark. Characterized by the milky white of opal, arcopal marked one of the first industrial revolutions in glassware. The brand also refers to a decoration with a strong identity, a taste for vintage assumed. Codec: codec, for the centre grocers' consortium, is a former french store chain (supermarkets and supermarkets), owned by a cooperative group of merchants. The brand was founded in 1924 in limoges and developed in the 1960s. Unfortunately the brand finds itself in trouble from the 90s, will try to survive by being bought by the group promodès that will keep the brand alive until 1998 but the efforts of the group will not suffice and codec will eventually disappear definitively in 2003.
