Pressed Pink Glass Rose Embossed Bud Vase

This item is a decorative bud vase constructed from pressed pink glass. The glass exhibits a translucent, medium pink hue with some deeper pink coloration visible in thicker sections and at the base, indicative of the pressing process. The vase stands on a footed, scalloped base, featuring a shell-like or fluted pattern radiating from the center. A short, bulbous stem connects the base to the main body of the vase. The body itself is primarily tubular, flaring outwards slightly towards the top, and is extensively embossed with a repeating floral motif, predominantly roses, vines, and leaves. Some of the rose details appear as raised, rounded bumps, particularly prominent on the upper half of the vase. The rim of the vase is irregularly shaped, with a scalloped or undulating edge that follows the design of the embossed patterns below. The glass appears to be in good overall condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially manufactured piece, likely from the mid-20th century, common in pressed glass production during that era. The embossing is clear and well-defined, indicating a good quality mold. The overall aesthetic points to a decorative item designed for holding small floral arrangements or simply as an ornamental piece.
