Pressed Glass Compote Lid or Pedestal Base

This item is a clear, circular glass component, likely serving as a lid for a candy dish or a pedestal base for a compote, measuring approximately 5 inches in diameter. The piece is constructed from heavy pressed glass, featuring a multi-layered geometric design. The top portion (or finial/foot) is a smooth, cylindrical knob that transitions into a collar of deep thumbprint or diamond-point facet cuts. Below this, the main body flares outward into a domed shape, decorated with a combination of vertical ribbing and leaf-like mitre cuts that extend toward a scalloped or multi-faceted rim. The glass exhibits high clarity with a slight prismatic effect in the cut edges, typical of mid-20th-century American pressed glass (Early American Prescut or EAPC styles). No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in the image, which is common for mass-produced utility glassware of the 1940s-1960s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant clouding, though there is light surface dust. The sharp edges of the molding suggest quality manufacturing with minimal wear on the 'foot' or contact surfaces.
