About the Item

This is a large Lucite bowl made by Astrolite in the 1960s. Astrolite is a trademark registered to Herbert Ritts, Inc. of Los Angeles, California. The trademark trail for Ritts begins with the first use and use in commerce of “Astrolite” on June 2, 1969 for “Furniture-namely tables, chairs and sofas.” The Astrolite name refers to items made of or featuring in large part high quality acrylic. Shirley Ritts, born October 28, 1920, was an American interior designer. She married Herb Ritts, Sr. in 1950, a businessman who owned a furniture company at the time. Their company popularized rattan furniture in the United States during the 50s and 60s. Later, the company introduced a line of high-end acrylics. Shirley and Herb Ritts, Sr. divorced in the late 70s. She never remarried and died February 24, 2008. They had four children. Herbert “Herb” Ritts (August 13, 1952 – December 26, 2002) was an American fashion photographer.
