Milk Glass Grape and Cable Footed Bowl

This item is a milk glass footed bowl, likely intended as a fruit or serving bowl. It features a prominent 'Grape and Cable' pattern, characterized by raised, textured designs of grape clusters and intertwining vines and leaves encircling the lower half of the bowl's exterior. The bowl is made from opaque white milk glass, which gives it a lustrous, semi-glossy finish. It stands on three short, tapered feet, which are an integral part of the molded design, providing stability and elevating the bowl slightly. The rim of the bowl appears to have a scalloped or fluted edge, adding to its decorative appeal. Its construction is pressed glass, indicated by the uniformity of the pattern and the slight mold lines that might be present (though not clearly visible in these images). The overall appearance suggests a vintage piece, possibly from the mid-20th century, a common period for milk glass production in the United States. There appears to be a small discoloration or potential chip on the rim or upper body, visible as a light brown mark, which could impact its condition rating. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced glass of the era, focusing on detailed patterns achieved through molding. No specific maker's marks are visible in the provided images, but the 'Grape and Cable' pattern is a well-known motif often associated with glass manufacturers like Fenton, Northwood, or Westmoreland.
