Clear Pressed Glass Dessert Plates (Set of 9)

This set consists of nine clear glass plates, likely dessert plates or saucers, exhibiting a consistent and elegant design. Each plate is circular with a distinctive raised pattern on its rim. The pattern appears to be a textured, almost braided or rope-like design, running continuously around the edge, bordering a smooth, slightly raised inner circle. Inside this outer patterned rim, there is a central smooth well, approximately two-thirds the diameter of the plate, defined by two concentric raised lines. The craftsmanship suggests pressed glass, a common manufacturing method for dinnerware of this style. Given the clear glass and classic design, these plates likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly the Depression Era or slightly later, a period known for mass-produced yet decorative glassware. While specific maker's marks are not visible in the provided images, the uniformity of the design across all nine pieces indicates they are part of a matching set. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant scuffs discernible from the images, though typical signs of age-related wear such as light scratches or patina might be present upon closer inspection. The consistent pattern and clarity of the glass point to a reasonable quality level for mass-produced tableware of its time. The absence of color or elaborate detailing aligns with a functional yet decorative aesthetic.
