Amber Pressed Glass Dinnerware Set

This is an extensive collection of amber-colored pressed glass dinnerware, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century, specifically Depression glass era (1920s-1940s) given its style and material. The set includes a variety of pieces such as dinner plates, dessert plates, bowls (both shallow and deeper), cups with saucers, a two-tiered serving stand, a large segmented serving platter, and what appear to be individual condiment dishes or small tumblers. All pieces share a consistent aesthetic: a warm amber or marigold color, and a distinctive pressed glass pattern. The pattern features ornate, often scalloped or ruffled edges, and a repetitive circular or medallion motif embossed on the surface, particularly noticeable on the rims of plates and bowls, and the undersides of cups. The craftsmanship indicates mass production characteristic of pressed glass, where molten glass is pressed into molds, which can result in slight variations or mold lines. Some pieces exhibit well-defined patterns, suggesting good quality for the period. There are no immediate visible signs of major damage like chips or cracks from the provided images, though a thorough inspection would be needed to confirm overall condition. The consistent honey-amber hue makes it a cohesive collection, likely designed for formal or semi-formal dining. The presence of a two-tiered stand and segmented platter suggests versatility for entertaining.
