Vintage Green Art Glass Leaf Pattern Decorative Bowl

This is a mid-century style decorative shallow bowl or centerpiece crafted from pressed glass with a vibrant green hue. The piece features a complex, textured floral or leaf-inspired motif, with a central starburst/pinwheel design at the base that radiates outward into overlapping, scalloped petal forms. The glass exhibits a translucent quality with darker, saturated green tones at the thicker edges and lighter, chartreuse-like highlights where the glass is thinner or transitions toward the center. Structurally, the bowl has a heavily contoured rim that follows the organic shape of the outer petal pattern. The construction is solid and heavy, characteristic of vintage pressed glass. There are visible stickers on the inner surface, implying it may have been under recent retail or auction inventory. No major chips or cracks are immediately visible in the provided image, though typical microscopic wear (flea bites) on the underside of the textured base is common for glass of this era. The style suggests a production date between the 1950s and 1970s, likely from a known glass manufacturer such as those found in Japan or the United States (like Indiana Glass or Viking) specializing in decorative fruit bowls and centerpieces.

I have virtually examined this mid-century style green pressed glass bowl. Based on the texture, scalloped rim, and pinwheel base, this piece is consistent with Mid-Century Modern mass-production glassware, likely produced by the Indiana Glass Company (specifically the 'Tiara' or 'Leaf' line) or a similar manufacturer like Viking or Hazel-Atlas between 1950 and 1975. The piece exhibits excellent clarity and a rich 'Avocado' or 'Olive' green saturation typical of the era. The condition appears to be very good; while I note the retail stickers, there are no visible 'flea bites' or significant annealing cracks visible in the photographs. The market for mid-century colored glass remains stable, driven by the current trend for vintage home decor. Similar pieces frequently sell in the $40 to $70 range at antique malls and online marketplaces like Etsy or eBay. The value is capped by the mass-produced nature of pressed glass compared to hand-blown art glass. Authentication via digital imagery is limited; a physical inspection is required to check for manufacturer marks, mold-seam quality, and UV light reactivity (to check for manganese or uranium content). For full authentication, I would recommend verifying the weight and checking the base for 'shelf wear' patterns consistent with 50+ years of age. Without a maker's mark or original foil label, attribution remains based on stylistic comparison.
