Pressed Glass Ruffled Rose Bowl or Vase

This item is a clear pressed glass vase or decorative bowl featuring a distinctively flared and ruffled (crimped) rim. The body of the vessel is decorated with an intricate repeating geometric pattern, likely a variation of a 'Brussels' or 'Daisy and Button' motif, consisting of small faceted sunbursts and starburst shapes that provide significant light refraction. The piece sits on a circular pedestal base with vertical ribbing or fluting, transitioning into a textured pattern on the bottom interior of the foot. The construction is heavy pressed glass, evidenced by visible mold seams and the thickness of the glass wall. This style is characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) or mid-20th-century reproductions from manufacturers like Indiana Glass or Smith Glass. The glass appears to have good clarity with a slight greyish-yellow undertone consistent with soda-lime glass compositions. The condition appears fair to good; there is a visible retail sticker on the interior rim, and while no major cracks are evident, there is a potential small chip or surface wear located at the junction where the body meets the stem. Surface grime is present, consistent with items found in a secondary market setting.
