E.O. Brody MJ-43 Milk Glass Pedestal Vase Sculptural J-2519 Greek Key

US$145.00

A sculptural statement piece, this pedestal compote demonstrates the substantial form and crisp detailing characteristic of mid-century American pressed milk glass. The vessel is elevated by a distinctively banded Greek key base, offering a sophisticated silhouette that bridges traditional ornamentation and modern minimalism. Its dense, opaque materiality catches ambient light, making it a compelling centerpiece for a curated interior.

Attribution & Period

By E.O. Brody Co.; 1960s. The piece is clearly marked "E.O. Brody" and "MJ-43" on the interior, with "Cleveland, Ohio USA" and "J-2519" on the base, confirming both origin and production era.

Dimensions Height: 7 in Width / Diameter: 5.75 in Depth / Base Diameter: 3.5 in Weight: N/A

Condition

Excellent condition. The surface retains a consistent, opaque finish with only minor signs of age-appropriate wear, such as faint surface scuffs consistent with light use. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed.

Authenticity & Construction

This piece is a quintessential example of mid-century American pressed glass manufacturing. The heavy, sculptural form is achieved through automated press-molding, a technique synonymous with E.O. Brody’s production of durable, geometrically precise decorative wares.

Curation

This bowl functions as a refined architectural accent. It is ideally suited for a minimalist credenza, a centerpiece for an eclectic dining arrangement, or as a textured focal point within a neutral, high-end display cabinet.

STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
