Pressed Glass Diamond-Pattern Footed Candy Bowl with Lid

This is a vintage pressed clear glass candy dish with a matching lid, featuring a pedestal base. The piece is characterized by an intricate, all-over diamond or 'quilted' pattern that creates high-refraction facets typical of Mid-Century American glassware. The bowl sits on a short, sturdy pedestal foot with a circular base, which displays a radial starburst or sunburst design on its underside. The lid is domed and matching in pattern, topped with a tall, pinecone-shaped or pointed finial that is also faceted to catch light. The construction is heavy-walled molded glass, evidenced by visible but well-finished seams. The clarity of the glass suggests it is a high-quality soda-lime glass, possibly manufactured by a company like Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or Fenton during the 1950s to 1970s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding (sickness), maintaining a bright luster. The craftsmanship is sharp, with crisp edges on the geometric patterns, indicating the mold was in good condition at the time of pressing. The piece measures approximately 6 to 8 inches in height and 5 to 6 inches in diameter, serving as both a functional serving piece and a decorative tabletop element.
