This pedestal goblet presents a striking architectural profile, defined by its rare square plinth base and the rhythmic complexity of the "Daisy and Button" V-ornament pattern. The luminous green glass serves as a medium for brilliant light refraction, creating a spectral glow that is further intensified by its authentic uranium content. The interplay between the sharp geometric base and the ornate, textured bowl makes it a compelling decorative object that commands attention in any curated, light-forward setting.
Attribution & Period
Consistent with Bryce Brothers (Pittsburgh), 1880s
The piece is stylistically aligned with the "Daisy and Button with V-Ornament" pattern, a quintessential Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) design introduced in the mid-1880s. The attribution is supported by the specific geometric registration of the "V" stripes and the substantial uranium-oxide glass batch used to achieve its signature luminescence. Characteristic 19th-century manufacturing indicators, such as subtle cooling lines and tool marks from the wooden mold, suggest an origin specifically circa 1886.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Excellent antique condition. No chips, cracks, or fleabites observed on the rim or the corners of the square base. The glass remains clear and vibrant, exhibiting only the internal manufacturing artifacts—such as faint shear marks and small seed bubbles—consistent with 1880s uranium glass production.
Authenticity & Construction
The goblet was created through a precision press-molding process using a multi-part metal and wooden mold. The glass composition includes uranium oxide, which causes the piece to exhibit a brilliant neon-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, a hallmark of high-quality Victorian "Vaseline" or "Canary" glass. The presence of cooling striations and mold seams provides definitive evidence of its 19th-century construction.
Placement
This sculptural vessel is best displayed in a position where it can capture natural or UV light, such as a curated vitrine or an architectural shelving unit. Its vibrant color and unique square base make it an ideal transition piece for interiors ranging from Victorian Maximalism to modern Eclectic.
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.
