Clear Pressed Glass Divided Serving Dish

This item is a clear pressed glass serving dish, designed with three distinct compartments, giving it a tri-lobed or clover-leaf appearance from the top. The entire surface of the interior and exterior of the bowl is adorned with a uniform hobnail or 'bubble' texture, creating a highly tactile and light-refracting effect. The dish is elevated on a short, sturdy, hexagonal pedestal base that appears to be integrated into the main body of the dish, rather than being a separate attached piece. The edges of the dish are scalloped, following the contours of the divided sections, which adds to its decorative appeal. The glass is transparent and colorless, typical of mass-produced pressed glass from the mid-20th century. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided image, though a more thorough inspection would be required to confirm its pristine condition. The quality of the pressed glass suggests a commercially manufactured item, likely intended for serving candies, nuts, relishes, or other small appetizers. The craftsmanship appears consistent and the hobnail pattern is uniformly applied. Due to its style and typical manufacturing techniques, it likely dates from the mid-century modern era, possibly 1950s-1970s.
