Two Tier Bowl Appraisal

Clear Glass Chip and Dip Bowl

This item is a clear glass chip and dip serving bowl, designed with a central, raised circular indentation to hold a smaller bowl for dip, while the larger outer bowl holds chips or other snacks. The bowl appears to be made from clear, colorless glass, exhibiting good transparency with no visible tint or cloudiness. Its form is shallow and wide, typical of a serving platter. The rim of the main bowl is smooth and slightly rolled or fire-polished, indicating careful finishing. The raised central ring, which forms the dip holder, is also smoothly finished, suggesting a cohesive, single-piece construction rather than an assembly of separate components. There are no noticeable chips, cracks, or significant scratches visible on the surface, suggesting the item is in good to very good used condition. The glass retains its clarity and luster. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or embossed details, which is common for utilitarian glass serveware. Based on its design and material, it likely dates from the mid-20th century onwards, reflecting a functional and understated aesthetic typical of mass-produced consumer goods from that period. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for machine-pressed or molded glass, with a uniform thickness and smooth surfaces, indicative of practical and durable kitchenware.
