Pressed Glass Rocks Glass in Pinwheel and Star Pattern

This item is a short, cylindrical rocks glass or 'old fashioned' glass, characterized by a complex decorative surface. The glass features a deeply molded pressed-glass design, commonly referred to as Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) or a derivative style like Pressed Lead Glass. The pattern consists of various geometric motifs, including prominent pinwheels, cross-hatching, and starbursts, which mimic the appearance of expensive hand-cut crystal. It has a slightly tapered body towards the base with a smooth, rounded rim at the top. The glass is clear with a bright, reflective quality, though several tiny trapped air bubbles (seeds) appear within the material, indicative of mid-20th-century mass production rather than high-end hand-blown glass. The construction shows a visible mold seam running vertically, which confirms it was produced via a machine-pressing process. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in very good vintage state with no visible chips or significant clouding from dishwasher use. There is a slight patina of surface micro-scratches on the interior bottom from use. The style suggests it was likely manufactured in the United States between the 1950s and 1970s, a period when many glassmakers like Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or Federal Glass produced similar intricate patterns for home barware.
