Ruffled Opalescent Art Glass Pedestal Bowl

This is a vintage hand-blown or mold-blown art glass pedestal bowl, often referred to as a compote or candy dish. The piece features a deep, hand-rolled ruffled or 'crimped' rim that creates a rhythmic wave pattern around the circumference. The glass exhibits a distinct opalescent or 'moonstone' quality, characterized by a milky-white translucence that transitions into clear glass at the very edges of the rim and base. A notable feature is the subtle iridescence visible on the inner surface, catching light in a spectrum of soft blues, pinks, and yellows. The bowl transitions into a clear glass spherical knop or 'ball' stem, which sits upon a circular flared clear glass foot. In terms of construction, the thickness of the glass appears substantial, suggesting a quality mid-century production, likely influenced by the styles of Fenton or Northwood, dating roughly from the 1940s to the 1960s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching, though a small red price sticker '8-' is present on the outer rim. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for such glass house productions of that era.
