Pressed Glass Plate or Compote Top

The item is a clear glass plate, likely part of a serving dish or compote, characterized by its distinctive pressed glass patterns. The plate features a series of radiating starburst and floral designs, typical of the 'Daisy and Button' or similar patterns common in American pressed glass from the late 19th to mid-20th century. The patterns are deeply molded into the glass, creating a faceted surface that reflects light. The rim of the plate appears to have a scalloped or gently fluted edge, adding to its decorative appeal. The central area of the plate also features a detailed star-like motif, often indicative of where it would connect to a pedestal in the case of a compote dish. Given the context of its use, it might be a part of an EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) set. The glass appears to be in very good condition with no apparent chips, cracks, or significant abrasions, consistent with the 'real good shape' context provided. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the image, which is common for pressed glass where marks were often absent or subtle. The crafting quality indicates a mass-produced item from a mold, yet the intricacy of the pattern suggests careful design. The clarity of the glass and the sharpness of the pattern details indicate it has been well-preserved.
