Vintage Clear Glass Ribbed Square Serving Bowl

This item is an 8-inch by 8-inch square candy dish or serving bowl crafted from clear, colorless glass or crystal. The piece features a distinct Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, characterized by vertical linear ribbing (gadrooning) that extends from the base to the rim. The bowl possesses a flared, tapered silhouette that rises from a matching square pedestal base with rounded corners. The thickness of the glass appears significant, suggesting a molded or pressed glass construction. Its design creates a rhythmic play of light and shadow, typical of prismatic glasswares. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided photograph, though the style is reminiscent of major glass manufacturers like Federal Glass, Hazel-Atlas, or Mikasa. The condition appears fair to good; the glass retains a clear luster, and while no major chips or cracks are immediately evident, slight surface scratches or micro-abrasions consistent with domestic use may be present upon closer inspection. The overall craftsmanship shows clean lines and symmetrical geometry, indicating a stable quality of production likely dating from the mid-20th century.
