Carnival Glass Bowl with Diamond Pattern

The item is a small, round glass bowl, distinguished by its iridescent orange-amber color, characteristic of carnival glass. Its surface exhibits a prominent diamond pattern, likely achieved through pressing or molding, which creates a textured exterior that catches and reflects light. The iridescence displays a spectrum of warm tones, including coppery oranges, golden yellows, and hints of pink or red, shifting with the angle of light due to a metallic salt spray applied during manufacturing. The rim of the bowl appears smooth and slightly flared, indicating a finishing process, possibly fire-polished. The interior surface seems largely smooth, highlighting the depth of the color. Given the context of 'Crystal' provided, it suggests a material with some refractive qualities, although the primary visual characteristic points to iridescent glass. There are no clearly discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The style and coloration strongly suggest it is a piece of carnival glass, popular from the early 20th century, roughly 1900-1930s. The craftsmanship, while mass-produced, shows a consistent pattern and an appealing luster. There are no obvious signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from the provided angles; the surface appears intact, though typical minor manufacturing imperfections such as straw marks or tiny bubbles might be present upon closer inspection.
