Diamond Point Glassware Appraisal

Vintage Diamond Point Amber Glass Square Bowl

This item is a vintage bowl crafted from amber-tinted glass, indicative of early to mid-20th century 'depression glass' or similar patterned glassware. The bowl is square-shaped with distinct, scalloped edges that are heavily textured with a diamond point or hobnail pattern, giving it a somewhat prickly appearance along the rim. The color is a consistent, warm amber throughout. The bowl features a slightly recessed square center with a starburst or sunburst pattern molded into the bottom, adding to its decorative appeal. Surrounding this central design, the interior walls of the bowl are adorned with a ribbed or vertically striped pattern, creating a subtle contrast to the exterior's diamond points. The glass appears to be molded, which was a common manufacturing technique for this type of tableware. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided image; the condition appears to be relatively good, considering its potential age, with no significant signs of wear or patina. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced glassware from its era, focusing on decorative patterns and functional design. The precise dimensions are not ascertainable from the image, but it appears to be a small to medium-sized serving or trinket dish.
