Footed Hand-Painted Floral Glass Bowl

This is a footed glass bowl, likely a centerpiece or serving bowl, characterized by its clear, transparent material and elegant form. The bowl features a gently flared rim and a slightly angled, V-shaped body that tapers down to a sturdy circular foot. Its approximate dimensions appear to be around 8-10 inches in diameter at the rim, with a height of perhaps 6-8 inches, although precise measurements are not available from the image. The most striking characteristic is the hand-painted floral decoration adorning the exterior. The motifs include green foliage with delicate details and colorful blossoms, specifically purple and yellow flowers, suggesting a naturalistic or botanical theme. The paint appears to be enamel or a similar durable medium, applied with noticeable brushstrokes, indicative of hand-decoration. A subtle band of yellow or gold accentuates the base of the main bowl section, just above the stem of the foot. While no obvious chips or cracks are visible, the glass may show minor surface scratches consistent with use and age. There are no clear maker’s marks or signatures visible from the provided angles, making precise attribution difficult without further inspection. The style of decor suggests a mid-20th century European design, possibly French given the context, leaning towards an Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern aesthetic with its clean lines and botanical embellishment. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, suggesting a decorative piece intended for display or special occasion use.
