Pressed Glass Starburst/Star Pattern Plate

This appears to be a clear pressed glass plate, likely a dessert plate or a small serving plate, characterized by its intricate starburst and star pattern. The plate is circular with a shallow depth, suggesting it is designed for serving rather than deep dishes. Its material is transparent glass, exhibiting a clear, colorless hue that allows for ample light refraction, enhancing the decorative patterns. The dominant design features a central starburst motif, encircled by a series of smaller, distinct stars, which are then surrounded by larger, more elongated starburst or fan-like cuts extending towards the rim. The details of the pattern suggest it was made using a pressing technique, standard for creating such repetitive and geometric designs in glass. The edges appear smooth and possibly slightly fluted or scalloped, though this is not entirely clear from the image. No visible chips, cracks, or significant wear are immediately apparent on the surface, indicating it is in at least good condition, though a closer inspection would be required to confirm minor abrasions or flea bites common with vintage pressed glass. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the top-down perspective provided. Given the commonality of such patterns, it likely dates from the early to mid-20th century, a popular period for decorative pressed glass tableware. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality for pressed glass of its era, with a focus on creating an appealing visual texture through light reflection.
