Clear Pressed Glass Footed Bowl

This is a clear, transparent pressed glass bowl with a footed design. The overall shape is circular with a distinctive scalloped or ruffled edge, giving it an ornate perimeter. The material is glass, exhibiting good clarity and showing some surface reflections from the surrounding environment. The bowl's interior features a textured pattern, possibly a swirled or ribbed design, which is typical of pressed glass items. The foot of the bowl is centralized and appears to be a separate, smaller circular component, also made of clear glass, with its own molded or faceted decoration, creating an elevated base for the larger bowl. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. Given the style of the scalloped edge and the pressed glass manufacturing technique, the item likely dates to the early to mid-20th century, possibly between the 1930s and 1960s, a popular period for such decorative glassware. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage visible, suggesting a good overall condition. The quality is indicative of mass-produced pressed glass, which, while not fine crystal, often displays pleasing aesthetics and functional durability. It would have likely been used for serving salads, desserts, fruit, or as a decorative centerpiece.
