Clear Pressed Glass Geometric Design Dish or Bowl

This item is a clear pressed glass dish or bowl, likely part of a lidded container or perhaps a standalone decorative piece. Its predominant feature is the highly textured, geometric surface. The exterior exhibits a complex pattern composed of numerous faceted shapes, appearing to be a combination of polygons such as hexagons and irregular quadrilaterals, creating a crystalline or 'hobnail' like effect. The facets are precisely formed, indicating machine pressing rather than hand-cutting. The clear glass material allows light to refract and reflect, enhancing the visual interest of the intricate pattern. The item appears circular or somewhat rounded in its overall form, with a flat base or rim that suggests it rests stably on a surface. The interior surface, as far as can be discerned from the image, seems smoother compared to the exterior. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided images. The condition appears good from a distance, with no major chips or cracks overtly visible, though close inspection would be required to confirm this. There may be some dust or minor surface debris accumulated in the crevices of the pattern. Given the style, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, a period known for its mass-produced yet visually appealing glass wares. The quality of the pressed glass appears consistent, with good clarity and uniformity in the thickness of the glass, characteristic of well-executed industrial glass production.
