Vintage Star and Fan Cut Glass Serving Bowl

This item is a medium-sized decorative serving bowl made of clear pressed glass, designed to mimic the appearance of American Brilliant Period cut glass. The bowl features a classic 'Star and Fan' or 'Pinwheel' motif, characterized by deep geometric incisions including large multi-point radial stars and smaller secondary stars nestled between fan-like vertical cuts. The rim is scalloped or sawtooth-edged, following the contours of the decorative pattern. Based on the visible softening of the edges and the overall clarity, it is likely a mid-20th-century mass-manufactured piece rather than lead crystal. The bowl appears to be in good vintage condition with no significant chips or cracks prevalent in the image, though typical light surface scratches from utilitarian use may be present upon closer inspection. The absence of a visible manufacturer's mark suggests it could be from a prolific producer like Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or Smith Glass, which focused on affordable decorative tableware. The glass possesses a bright, clear luster with no significant yellowing or cloudiness, indicating it has been well-maintained. Its style is reminiscent of early 1900s craftsmanship but refined for mid-century production techniques.
