Crystal Citrus Juicer Bowl

This item is a clear crystal or glass citrus reamer and serving bowl combination. The item primarily consists of a fluted, conical reamer in the center, designed for extracting juice from citrus fruits. This reamer is integrated into a shallow, decorative bowl. The bowl itself features a scalloped or petal-like rim, suggesting the shape of an open flower, composed of multiple distinct sections. Each section of the bowl and the reamer surface is heavily faceted with a radiating or starburst pattern, indicative of pressed or cut glasswork, which enhances light reflection and gives it a sparkling appearance. The material is transparent, colorless, and appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The intricate faceting and clear material suggest a piece designed for both functional use as a juicer and aesthetic appeal as a serving dish. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the given image, which is common for pressed glass items. Given its design and commonality of such items, it likely dates from the mid-20th century onwards, belonging to a more mass-produced yet decorative style. Its craftsmanship is functional and ornamental, making it suitable for practical kitchen use or as a decorative centerpiece.
