Vintage Molded Scalloped Glass Pipe and Cigar Rest Holder

This item is a clear, heavy-molded glass accessory designed as a resting place for smoking pipes or cigars. The piece features a distinct rectangular but rounded silhouette with high side walls consisting of twelve vertical, pill-shaped columns or lobes that create a scalloped rim effect around the entire perimeter. The glass is thick-walled, suggesting a Mid-Century Modern or Art Deco influence, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The base is notably weighted for stability, featuring a decorative relief pattern on the underside that provides both visual interest and grip. Physically, the item exhibits excellent transparency with minimal internal inclusions, indicating a decent level of manufacturing quality typical of pressed glass factories such as those found in the United States or Western Europe during the 1950s-70s. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship shows smooth fire-polished edges. The condition appears to be good with standard shelf wear on the bottom surface and no immediate evidence of major chips, cracks, or heavy caloric staining from use, though minor scratches consistent with age may be present upon closer inspection.
