White Milk Glass Ruffled Footed Bowl/Compote

This item is a white milk glass footed bowl, often referred to as a compote or candy dish. It features a fluted or ribbed body that tapers downwards from a wide mouth to a narrower stem, which then expands into a stable, rounded foot. The most distinctive feature is the top rim, which is elaborately ruffled or scalloped, adding a decorative and classic touch. The material appears to be opaque white milk glass, known for its smooth, milky appearance and slight translucency when held up to light, though this detail is not fully discernible in the provided image. The construction seems to be of a single piece, molded glass. It exhibits a classic aesthetic, suggesting it could be from the mid-20th century or earlier, a popular period for milk glass production. No visible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps are discernible in the image. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible, although a closer inspection would be required to confirm this. The quality of the craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced milk glass of its era.
