Art Glass Creamer Appraisal

Ruby Red to Golden Yellow Hobnail Art Glass Creamer/Sugar

The item is a small, possibly mid-century art glass creamer or sugar bowl, exhibiting a vibrant color transition from a rich ruby red at the rim to a translucent golden yellow in the hobnail-textured body. Its physical characteristics include a wide, undulating rim with a smooth finish, tapering down to a bulbous body adorned with an all-over hobnail pattern, creating a tactile and visually interesting surface. The base appears to be a solid, short pedestal foot. A single, gracefully curved handle, made of clear or slightly yellowish glass, is attached to one side, complementing the body's color scheme. The approximate size appears to be suitable for a small serving of cream or sugar, likely standing around 4-6 inches tall. There are no immediately discernible condition issues such as chips or cracks visible in the provided image; the glass appears to be in good, used condition with a gentle patina consistent with its likely age. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible, although a white sticker, possibly a price tag or inventory label, is affixed to the exterior near the rim. The craftsmanship suggests a blown or pressed glass manufacturing process, with the hobnail pattern indicating a mold. The graduated coloring suggests an 'ombré' or 'fade' technique, a common feature in art glass from the mid-20th century. Its unique combination of color, texture, and elegant form makes it a distinctive piece of decorative glassware.
