Mid-Century Modern Glass Leaf-Shaped Trinket Dish

This item is a decorative clear glass dish shaped like a stylized leaf, likely intended for use as a candy bowl, nut dish, or vanity trinket tray. Measuring approximately 6 to 8 inches in length, it is constructed from thick, pressed soda-lime glass with a high-gloss finish. The design features a smooth, upward-curving rim and a central 'vein' ridge that creates a structural division down the middle. Branching from this central midrib are delicate, incised lines that mimic the natural venation of a leaf. The stem of the leaf is represented by a small, textured glass protrusion at one end, which often functions as a handle. The glass appears to have good clarity with minimal yellowing, a characteristic of quality Mid-Century production. Structurally, the piece is in good vintage condition with no visible cracks or large chips in the glass, though light surface scratches consistent with age and shelf wear are present on the base. There are no discernible maker's marks visible in the photograph, but the style is highly reminiscent of glass manufacturers such as Indiana Glass or Fostoria, dating from the late 1950s to the 1970s. The thick edges and heavy base indicate solid craftsmanship intended for domestic durability.
