Arcoroc 'Rosaline' Clear Glass Bowl with Starburst Base

This is a clear glass bowl, likely a dessert bowl or small serving dish, manufactured by Arcoroc. The bowl features a distinctive pressed glass pattern on its interior and base. The most prominent feature is the starburst design centrally located at the bottom of the bowl, emanating outward with numerous rays. Surrounding this central starburst is a geometric pattern composed of small, raised diamond or faceted shapes, creating a textured surface that catches and reflects light. The exterior of the bowl appears smooth. The material is clear, transparent glass, exhibiting a slight yellowish tint in some lighting due to reflections but inherently colorless. The rim of the bowl is smooth and appears slightly thickened for durability. Visible condition issues include some light surface scratches or scuffs, particularly on the interior and along the rim, consistent with normal use and cleaning over time. No major chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately discernible from the provided image. Arcoroc is known for producing durable, often tempered, glassware. This particular 'Rosaline' style (though the color 'Rosaline' is pink, the clear version shares the pattern) suggests a mid-20th century to late 20th-century manufacturing period, typically from the 1960s to 1980s. The repetitive, molded pattern indicates mass production, characteristic of Arcoroc's practical yet decorative household items. The craftsmanship is consistent with industrially produced glassware, focusing on functional design with aesthetic appeal.
