Two-Tone Frosted Green Pressed Glass Bowl

This item is a pressed glass bowl or dish, characterized by its distinctive two-tone appearance and texture. The upper section of the bowl appears to be made of clear, translucent glass, featuring a ribbed or fluted pattern around its circumference, possibly indicative of a rim or upper body detail. The lower portion, which forms the base and possibly the lower sides of the vessel, is a vibrant frosted green, with a granular or pebble-like textured finish. This frosted texture is tactile and provides a visual contrast to the smooth, clear glass above. The transition between the clear and frosted green glass is defined by a scalloped or undulating edge, creating a decorative border. The very bottom of the piece, the base, is also clear glass and features a radiating starburst or floral pattern molded into it, adding intricate detail and stability. The pressed glass manufacturing technique is evident in the sharpness of the molded details and the uniformity of the design. The vibrant green color, especially when combined with clear glass, is highly suggestive of a mid-20th-century aesthetic, likely from the Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern period, possibly 1930s-1960s. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions from the provided images, suggesting a generally good condition. The frosted texture might show some wear or loss over time, but it appears largely intact. No maker's marks or signatures are discernible in the provided views. The quality of craftsmanship appears good for pressed glass of this era, with clear molds and consistent color application.
