Pressed Glass Footed Fan Vase

This item is a decorative clear-pressed glass vase featuring a flared rim and a tripod-style footed base. The vessel displays a mixture of geometric patterns characteristic of early to mid-20th-century American pressed glass. Specifically, the body is adorned with a diamond-cut or cross-hatch texture on the mid-section, while the upper portion flares out into a fan or scalloped-edge rim with vertical flute molding. Around the base of the main cylinder is a rounded 'thumbprint' or 'bullseye' band that transitions into three short, curved cabriole-style feet. The material appears to be soda-lime glass, exhibiting high clarity with typical internal reflections seen in machine-pressed manufacturing. In terms of condition, the glass appears structurally sound with no large cracks visible, though the rim likely possesses some flea bites or minor roughness common with use. There is no visible maker's mark in the photograph, but the style is reminiscent of pieces produced by companies like Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or Fostoria during the Depression Era through the 1960s. The craftsmanship shows standard commercial quality of the period, with noticeable mold lines that are characteristic of the pressing process.
