Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) Scalloped Nut or Berry Bowl

This is a vintage Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) dish, likely a nut or individual berry bowl, manufactured from colorless pressed glass. The item features a distinctive scalloped, sawtooth-style rim that rises into crests around the circumference. The exterior walls are decorated with an intricate 'Sunburst' or 'Daisy and Button' variant pattern, characterized by repeating circular medallions containing starburst motifs, separated by vertical fluting and geometric ribbing. The base of the bowl features a centered, circular pressed design with a cross-hatched or 'diamond point' texture rimming a plain flat center. Based on the construction and clarity of the glass, this piece likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century (circa 1880-1915). The craftsmanship shows typical characteristics of pressed glass from this era, including visible mold lines and a slightly heavy, sturdy feel despite its small size. The condition appears to be excellent for its age; while some light surface scratches are visible upon close inspection, there are no obvious large chips, cracks, or significant clouding ('glass sickness'). The glass retains a high degree of transparency and brilliance, suggesting a quality lead or lime glass composition common to prominent manufacturers of the period such as Fostoria, Adams & Company, or Bryce Brothers.
