Arcoroc is a brand of tableware produced by Luminarc, a division of the French company Arc International. Founded in 1948, Luminarc became known for its durable and stylish glassware, often featuring bold designs and colors. The Octime line, characterized by its distinctive octagonal shape, gained popularity in the 1980s as part of the resurgence of Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco aesthetics in home decor.

These black glass Octime bowls are representative of the era's design trends, offering a sleek and geometric look that was fashionable for both everyday use and entertaining. The material, tempered glass, made them resistant to breakage and thermal shock, contributing to their widespread appeal.
