Clear Glass Dinner Plate with Swirl Rim

This item is a round dinner plate, appearing to be made of clear, possibly pressed glass. The body of the plate has a slight greenish tint, which could be inherent to the glass composition (e.g., iron content) or a consequence of age and environmental factors. The central serving area is flat and smooth, showing significant signs of wear including numerous scratches, scuffs, and what appear to be remnants of dried food or dirt, indicating heavy use and lack of recent cleaning. The most distinguishing feature is the rim, which is adorned with a decorative, molded swirl pattern that spirals outwards from the center. This pattern creates a textured surface that catches and refracts light, providing a subtle visual interest. The edge of the rim also has a slightly more pronounced greenish hue, possibly due to increased thickness or the way light passes through it. The overall construction suggests a manufactured item, likely from the mid-20th century or later, designed for everyday use rather than fine dining. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps evident from the image. The condition is poor to fair, due to the extensive surface scratching, dirt, and general wear on the central eating surface. There are no visible chips or cracks from this perspective, but a thorough inspection would be required to confirm the absence of damage. The quality of craftsmanship appears utilitarian, consistent with mass-produced tableware.
