Pair of Pressed Glass Fan and Diamond Pattern Vases

This is a pair of mismatched clear pressed glass vases featuring a classic radial fan and cross-hatched diamond pattern. The taller vessel stands approximately 7-8 inches high, with a smaller companion vessel. Both items feature a scalloped or 'sawtooth' rim and a flaring 'waist' that terminates into a circular, weighted base. The glass displays a yellowish tint, often characteristic of older soda-lime glass or exposure to UV light over time. The construction is molded rather than hand-cut, evidenced by the slight softening of the geometric edges and likely vertical mold seams. The pattern consists of intersecting diagonal lines creating a diamond quilt design at the base, transitioning into long vertical rays or 'fans' that create a crown-like effect at the top. Condition-wise, the glass remains transparent but shows significant surface dust and grime, particularly in the deep crevices of the pattern. There is no visible major chipping on the rims, though flea bites are common in such items. These pieces likely date from the mid-20th century, imitating the more expensive American Brilliant Period cut glass of the late 19th century.
