Opalescent Yellow Daisy and Button Glass Bowl with Hand-Painted Floral Decor

This is a small, decorative bowl crafted from opalescent yellow glass, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, consistent with the Victorian or Edwardian eras. The glass exhibits a characteristic translucent yellow hue with a milky, opalescent quality that becomes more pronounced along the edges and raised patterns. The bowl features a prominent 'Daisy and Button' pressed glass pattern, defined by a grid of raised diamond shapes, each containing a central 'button' or starburst motif. Four of these buttons, visible on the side, are embellished with a gold-colored accent, enhancing the decorative effect. The rim of the bowl is intricately scalloped or crimped, a common finish for this period, and appears to be adorned with a delicate gold gilt line, suggesting a higher quality finish. Complementing the molded pattern, the exterior of the bowl is hand-painted with charming floral motifs. One prominent design features a large, detailed reddish-brown rose with green foliage, while another section shows smaller red flower buds and additional green leaves. The artistic application of the paintwork indicates hand craftsmanship. The bowl sits on a small, round foot or base, also likely molded. Given its small size, it may have been intended as a nut bowl, candy dish, or a decorative accent piece. No visible chips, cracks, or significant wear are immediately apparent on the glass in the provided images, though a thorough inspection would be needed to confirm the absence of minor flaws or paint loss on closer examination. The quality of the pressed glass and the hand-painted details suggest a well-made, collectible item.
