Blue Depression Glass Footed Bowl with Diamond Pattern

This item is a small, round, light blue glass bowl, likely made of depression-era pressed glass or a modern reproduction. Its color appears to be a distinctive "fired-on" blue or a light aqua. The bowl features a decorative, geometric pattern, specifically a diamond cross-hatch or waffle design, molded into its outer surface, providing both texture and visual interest. The rim of the bowl has a scalloped or gently undulating edge, adding to its ornamental appeal. A notable structural feature is the presence of three small, molded feet on the base, lifting the bowl slightly off the surface and enhancing its stability; one of these feet appears to have a small chip or imperfection. The glass exhibits a translucent quality, allowing light to pass through and highlight its blue hue. The bowl's size suggests it might be used for serving small side dishes, nuts, candies, or as a decorative trinket dish. A retail tag, partially visible on the interior edge, indicates it is a pre-owned item, possibly from a thrift store or consignment shop. Given the typical characteristics of such glass, it likely dates from the early to mid-20th century if authentic Depression glass, or more recently if a reproduction. The overall condition, besides the one visible chip on a foot, appears relatively good with typical signs of wear for a used glass item, such as minor surface scratches or scuffs, but no significant cracks or fractures are immediately discernible from the image.
