Leaf Design Bowl Appraisal

Clear Glass Serving Bowl with Leaf Design

The item is a clear glass bowl, likely intended for serving or decorative purposes, and appears to be made of molded or blown glass. Its physical characteristics include a somewhat irregular, wavy rim, suggesting an organic or free-form design. The sides of the bowl are adorned with hand-painted or silkscreened green leaves, which exhibit visible brushstrokes or print lines, particularly noticeable in the veining of the larger, central leaf. There are also hints of a golden-yellow or orange color beneath some of the leaves, possibly representing a fruit or an accent color within the design. The overall size appears to be medium, suitable for a centerpiece or salad bowl. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The style of the decoration suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary period, possibly leaning towards a more casual or cottage aesthetic. In terms of condition, the glass appears clear with no overt cracks or chips visible from this angle, though surface dust or minor scratching is possible given its appearance on a retail shelf, potentially a thrift store. The quality of craftsmanship for the glass itself seems standard, while the painted decoration, although charming, does not suggest extremely fine hand-painting due to the slight variations and visible lines within the green areas.
