Milk Glass Pedestal Bowl

This is a white milk glass pedestal bowl, characterized by its opaque, milky white appearance. The bowl is square-shaped at the top, transitioning to an inverted square base connected by a short, sturdy stem. The surface of both the bowl and the base is adorned with a 'hobnail' pattern, which consists of numerous small, raised bumps creating a textured feel. Additionally, the sides of the square bowl feature a faint raised design, possibly depicting a floral or leaf motif, subtly integrated into the hobnail background. The edges of the bowl appear smooth and squared off, suggesting a clean finish. The item exhibits a glossy, somewhat reflective surface, typical of Depression-era or mid-20th-century milk glass. There are no immediately obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided image, indicating a relatively good condition. The construction appears solid and well-crafted, typical of molded glass. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible, which is common for many milk glass pieces. The design suggests it could be used as a candy dish, planter, or a decorative centerpiece. The item's proportions are balanced, giving it a stable and elegant presentation. The overall aesthetic points to a vintage style, likely dating from the mid-20th century.
