Clear Glass Basket Bowl with Floral Etching

This appears to be a clear glass basket-style bowl, likely intended as a decorative centerpiece, candy dish, or serving bowl. It is constructed from a transparent, slightly greenish-tinted glass, indicative of common glass compositions, possibly soda-lime glass. The main body consists of a circular, relatively shallow bowl with smoothly curved sides and a flat base. A prominent, solid glass handle arches gracefully over the bowl, affixed to the bowl's rim on opposing sides. At the points where the handle joins the bowl, there are decorative globular elements, possibly sculpted or applied glass spheres, adding an ornamental touch. The exterior of the bowl is adorned with etched or frosted designs, specifically floral motifs resembling sunflowers or daisies with distinct petals radiating from a central point, along with accompanying foliage. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with smooth transitions between the handle and bowl, and a consistent finish on the etched patterns. Visible condition indicates very good preservation, with no overt chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the glass surfaces. The translucence of the glass suggests it is free from cloudiness or etching marks from use. A small white label, possibly a manufacturer's sticker or inventory tag, is visible on the exterior of the bowl, but its details are illegible. The design suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary manufacturing period, likely for mass-market decorative or functional glass.
