Vintage Amber Carnival Glass Pedestal Candy Dish

This is a vintage pedestal candy dish, likely made of hand-pressed or mold-blown carnival glass featuring a vibrant amber or marigold coloration. The piece is characterized by a high-gloss finish with subtle iridescent undertones common in mid-century glass. The bowl features a deeply ruffled or 'crimped' rim, adding a decorative fluid texture to the top. The body of the bowl appears to have a subtle embossed pattern, possibly a diamond or floral motif, though the lighting makes the specific pattern difficult to definitively identify. It sits upon a slender, elegantly tapered stem that leads to a scalloped, petal-style circular base. The construction suggests a mid-20th-century manufacture, approximately 1950s-1970s, reminiscent of styles produced by companies such as Fenton or Jeanette Glass. The glass appears to be in good vintage condition with no visible cracks or large chips in this view, though some minor shelf wear on the base and very fine scratches consistent with age are expected. The craftsmanship shows high-quality pressing with even color distribution and a strong, stable structure.
