Clear Glass Decorative Serving Platter

This item is a clear glass serving platter, circular in shape, designed for presenting food. Its physical characteristics indicate it is made from molded glass, likely pressed glass, given the crispness of its patterns and uniformity. The platter features an intricate decorative design that radiates from the center. The central circular area has a fine diamond-hatch pattern, which is encircled by a band of tear-drop or lotus petal-shaped facets. Beyond this, a wider outer band displays a more pronounced diamond pattern, reminiscent of traditional cut glass, though likely molded. The rim appears to be substantial, possibly with a subtle scalloped edge that picks up on the inner faceting. There are no immediate signs of significant damage such as chips, cracks, or deep scratches visible in the provided image, suggesting it is in good, used condition. A blue price tag is adhered to one section of the rim, indicating it is likely from a retail environment, possibly a thrift store or reseller. The manufacturing details are not discernible from the image; there are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps. Based on its design characteristics, which include a blend of classic cut-glass inspired patterns, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, possibly 1970s-1990s, when pressed glass items simulating cut glass were popular for everyday use and entertaining. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for mass-produced pressed glass, with good clarity and defined patterns, suggesting a competent manufacturing process. The overall design aims for an elegant presentation, suitable for appetizers, desserts, or other food items.
