Bark Textured Glassware Appraisal

Mid-Century Olive Green Bark Textured Glass Lidded Candy Dish / Compote

This item is a Mid-Century Modern lidded candy dish or compote, crafted from olive green pressed glass. It features a textured surface, often referred to as 'bark' or 'tree bark' texture, which is characterized by irregular vertical ridges that create a tactile and visually interesting effect. The dish comprises two main parts: a bowl with a footed base and a fitted lid with a stubby, cylindrical finial or handle. The bowl has a footed design, elevating it slightly from the resting surface, typical of compotes or candy dishes. The color is a distinct olive green, popular in Mid-Century decor, which can sometimes appear darker or lighter depending on the lighting. The glass is opaque enough to obscure contents somewhat but still allows for light to play across its textured surface, highlighting the ridges. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear indicative of notable damage. The surface appears to have a consistent finish with no apparent repairs. The craftsmanship suggests mass production typical of pressed glass items from the mid-20th century, though the texture adds a dimension of quality. The construction is solid, indicating durability. Given the context of 'Mid-Century', this piece likely dates from the 1950s to 1970s.
