The Empress name came from #135 candlesticks, which were incorporated into the #1401 Empress line because the candlesticks in that line weren't suitable for decoration. This bowl was made 1930-1938 in crystal, moongleam, flamingo and sahara (shown). It is marked.
The set is pictured here with the #447 Empress etch.
