Vintage EAPG Style Clear Pressed Glass Serving Bowl
This item is a circular, clear pressed glass serving bowl featuring an Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) aesthetic. The bowl is approximately 8 to 10 inches in diameter and is constructed from a thick, heavy soda-lime glass. The exterior is adorned with a repetitive 'Whirling Star' or 'Pinwheel' motif within feathered oval frames, complemented by deep geometric mitre cuts that create a prismatic effect. The top edge is finished with a scalloped, saw-tooth rim that is rounded rather than sharp, indicating a molded manufacturing process rather than hand-cut crystal. This piece likely dates from the mid-20th century, reflecting a revival of Victorian brilliancy. The condition appears fair to good; there are no large structural cracks visible, but the glass shows some internal cloudiness and surface shelf wear on the base. Minor flea bites or small nicks are often present on the sharpest points of the pressed pattern in pieces of this age. No specific maker's marks are visible, which is common for mass-produced utility pressed glass from manufacturers like Anchor Hocking, Federal Glass, or Indiana Glass. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial table glass of the 1940s-1960s.
