Single Handle Nappy Appraisal

Pressed Glass Divided Nappy with Single Handle

This item is a vintage-style circular divided nappy or candy dish, crafted from heavy pressed colorless gas in a style reminiscent of early 20th-century Early American Prescut (EAPC) or 'Daisy and Button' patterns. It features a decorative scalloped or serrated rim and a centrally integrated glass divider, creating two distinct compartments for serving. A single, molded finger handle is attached to one side of the rim, designed for ease of carrying. The exterior and base are heavily textured with complex geometric patterns including starbursts, diamond points, and hobnail-like facets that effectively refract light. Based on its construction and commonality, it likely dates from the mid-20th century (c. 1940s-1970s). The glass appears thick and durable, typical of mass-produced American glassware manufacturers like Anchor Hocking, Federal Glass, or Indiana Glass. Visible condition issues include some surface dirt or dark residue caught in the textured crevices and along the handle, which could be cleaned. There are no immediate large cracks visible, though flea bites along the sharp edges of the pressed pattern and handle are common for this type of utilitarian glassware. The lack of visible etched maker's marks is standard for this category, where identification relies on pattern recognition and mold details.
