Pressed Glass Fleur de Lis Chalice

This is a footed goblet or chalice made of heavy pressed glass. The item is clear but exhibits a notable iridescent or 'aurora borealis' frosted finish on the exterior surfaces. The vessel features a prominent raised Fleur de Lis motif enclosed within a circular beaded border, which repeats around the body of the cup. The lower portion of the bowl is decorated with a band of raised hobnails or beads. The stem is short and thick, leading down to a wide, circular base that features radial ribbing. In terms of condition, the glass shows significant surface grime and possible mineral deposits, particularly inside the bowl where a brownish residue is visible. There are also remnants of a price tag or label near the rim showing the text 'SEGA' and some pink marking on the base, likely from a thrift store or previous inventorying process. The piece appears to be a mass-produced item, likely dating from the late 20th century to modern times, mimicking antique European glassware styles. The thick molded seams and slightly matte surface texture are indicative of modern production methods intended to provide a vintage aesthetic.
