Early American Pattern Glass Hobstar and Fan Scalloped Bowl

This is a circular, colorless glass bowl featuring a deeply pressed pattern in the 'Early American Pattern Glass' (EAPG) style, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The piece is constructed from heavy-gauge poured glass and showcases a scalloped or 'crenellated' rim that follows the curvature of the exterior molding. The primary decorative motif consists of large geometric hobstars alternating with fan and diamond point cuttings, a style popular during the American Brilliant period (circa 1880-1915). The base is finished with a large, integrated radial sunburst or multi-point star design. Physically, the glass exhibits a high degree of clarity with a slight yellowish or grayish cast typical of manganese or soda-lime glass from the era. The bowl's walls are thick and substantial, providing significant weight and durability. While no maker's mark is visible—which is common for EAPG—the craftsmanship shows uniform molding lines and crisp edges on the prismatic patterns. In terms of condition, the item appears to be in good vintage state, though there is a faint vertical line visible which may be a manufacturing mold seam rather than a crack. There are no obvious large chips or deep scratches visible on the upper rim, although minor 'flea bites' or base wear from surface contact are expected for an item of this age. This specimen represents a fine example of mass-produced decorative tableware designed to mimic more expensive lead crystal of the period.
