Iridescent Orange Carnival Glass Footed Bowl

This item is an iridescent orange carnival glass bowl, likely a nut bowl or small serving dish, supported by three distinct feet. The bowl features a scalloped rim with approximately 16-20 rounded undulations, giving it a decorative edge. The material is pressed glass, exhibiting a vibrant, fiery orange to amber color with a characteristic iridescent sheen that shifts in hue and intensity depending on the light angle, displaying flashes of pink, purple, and gold. The exterior and interior surfaces of the bowl are heavily embossed with a repeating floral or geometric pattern, possibly a 'Hobnail' variant or similar intricate design, which is typical of carnival glass, enhancing its light-catching properties. The pattern appears consistent around the entire circumference. The bowl stands on three sturdy, molded glass feet, which also seem to have some decorative texture, though less clearly discernible than the main bowl pattern. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage visible from the provided images, suggesting it is in good, original condition. The overall craftsmanship indicates a mass-produced item from the early to mid-20th century, consistent with the popularity of carnival glass during that era. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The glass itself appears thick and substantial, contributing to its durability and antique aesthetic. The color saturation is strong, and the iridescence is well-preserved.
