Pressed Glass Ruffled Pedestal Bowl with Ivy Leaf Embossment

This item is a decorative clear pressed glass bowl characterized by a distinctive ruffled or undulating rim. The construction features a thick glass body with alternating panels of vertical ribbing and embossed ivy leaf clusters. The ivy leaves are rendered in a satin or frosted finish, providing a textural contrast against the transparent, high-polished background. The bowl appears to sit on a short, molded pedestal base. In terms of style, the botanical motif and scalloped edge suggest a mid-century or late 20th-century decorative aesthetic, possibly influenced by Lalique or Imperial Glass styles. While no specific maker's mark is visible through the base, the uniformity of the mold suggests a mass-produced piece of relatively high-quality glassware. The condition appears fair to good with no immediate signs of large chips or cracks visible, though common issues for this type of glass include 'flea bites' along the rim and shelf wear on the bottom of the base. Inside the bowl, unrelated dark objects (possibly hair clips or utensils) are currently stored, obscuring the interior bottom surface. To fully assess value, a tactile inspection for internal fractures or mineral clouding (sickness) would be required.
