Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) Bud Vase

This is a vintage colorless pressed glass bud vase, likely dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century, consistent with the Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) era. The vase features a trumpet-shaped ruffled rim with a scalloped edge, transitioning into a body decorated with a 'Diamond Point' or pineapple-style faceted pattern. A notable feature is the inclusion of gilded or straw-colored amber staining within some of the diamond facets, adding a decorative contrast to the clear glass. The vessel sits atop a long, hexagonal faceted stem that flares out into a circular pressed glass base. The base itself is decorated with a matching diamond texture on the underside. In terms of condition, the glass retains a high degree of clarity, though some minor surface wear and small flea bites along the sharp edges of the pressed pattern are expected given its age. There are no large chips or cracks visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced Victorian-era glassware, showing sharp mold lines and complex geometric light refraction.
