Vintage Vaseline Glass Square Pressed Glass Nut or Berry Bowl

This is a vintage pressed glass bowl in a distinct yellowish-green hue, characteristic of 'Vaseline glass' containing uranium oxide. The bowl features a modified square shape with lobed, rounded corners and a slightly scalloped rim. It measures approximately 12.5cm in width, 18cm diagonally, and 4cm in height. The interior base is decorated with an intricate geometric pattern featuring a central four-pointed star or diamond motif, surrounded by fan-shaped rays (palmettes) at each corner and cross-hatched hobnail details. This pattern is consistent with Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) or Depression-era styles from the late 19th to early 20th century. Notably, the glass exhibits a strong green fluorescence under UV light, confirming the presence of uranium. The construction shows thick, sturdy glass walls typical of high-quality mass-produced kitchenware of its era. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the image, the craftsmanship is sharp and refined. The condition appears excellent with good clarity; there are no immediately visible chips or cracks along the scalloped edges, though minor shelf wear on the bottom surface would be expected for a piece of this age. The color is bright and consistent across the form.
