Vintage EAPG Star and Fan Pressed Glass Bowl

This item is a decorative clear pressed glass bowl, characteristic of the Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) tradition. The bowl features a deeply molded 'Star and Fan' pattern, which showcases a central six-pointed starburst on the interior base surrounded by radiating geometric fan motifs and triangular diamond-point textures. The rim is finished with a scalloped or serrated sawtooth edge that adds a tactical and visual complexity to the piece. Constructed from heavy, thick transparent soda-lime glass, it displays the typical slight greyish or yellowish tint often found in mass-produced glassware from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Structurally, the bowl appears to be in good vintage condition with common signs of age such as micro-scratching on the base from use and some minor flea bites or roughness along the sharp exterior edges of the decorative molding. No visible maker's marks or signatures were detected, which is standard for most EAPG manufacturers like Imperial or US Glass. The craftsmanship reflects the industrial aesthetic of the Victorian era, utilizing high-pressure molds to mimic the appearance of expensive hand-cut lead crystal.
