Pressed Glass Divided Serving Dish

This item is a clear, colorless pressed glass serving dish, characterized by its circular shape and three-section division. The dish features a decorative scalloped or ruffled edge around its perimeter, indicating a deliberate design choice often seen in vintage glassware. The entire surface of the dish, both the base and the dividing walls, is adorned with an intricate diamond point or hobnail pattern, which creates a multifaceted, light-reflecting texture. In the very center, where the three sections converge, there is a distinct starburst or floral motif, providing a focal point and additional aesthetic appeal. The material appears to be standard pressed glass, which, while durable, can sometimes show molding lines or slight imperfections from the manufacturing process, though none are clearly visible in the provided image. The overall construction suggests a sturdy, utilitarian piece intended for serving appetizers, candies, or relishes. The style points to an estimated age from the mid-20th century, a popular period for patterned pressed glass. There are no readily visible chips, cracks, or significant wear markings, suggesting it is in good, used condition. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernable from the image. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced pressed glass, focusing on decorative patterns achieved through molds.
