Two-Tone Marigold and Ruby Red Pressed Glass Compote Dish

This item is a decorative compote dish crafted from pressed glass, exhibiting a striking two-tone color scheme. The bowl and the base of the dish are primarily a vibrant marigold or amber color, while the stem, and the interior of the bowl gradually transition into a rich ruby red. The glass appears translucent and shifts in color intensity, with the red being more prominent at the center of the bowl and throughout the stem, and the marigold dominating the outer rim of the bowl and the expanded foot. The compote features a clear, geometric pattern throughout, likely indicating it was produced using a mold. The bowl showcases a diamond-point or hobnail-like texture on its exterior and interior, lending it a faceted appearance that catches and refracts light. The rim of the bowl is also adorned with a repeating pattern of small, raised dots creating a scalloped or beaded edge. The stem is relatively short and thick, presenting a twisted or fluted design. The circular base mirrors the bowl's patterned texture, with similar diamond-point facets and a beaded edge. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good vintage condition. The surface exhibits a slight sheen, indicative of well-preserved glass with minimal wear. Without a clear view of the bottom or any discernible marks, precise manufacturing details or a specific maker are difficult to determine. However, the style and coloration are characteristic of depression glass or carnival glass from the early to mid-20th century. The quality appears good, typical of mass-produced decorative glassware of that era.
