This elegant small-scale vessel features a sophisticated radial ribbing that creates a dynamic play of light across its translucent surfaces. The flared, scalloped rim and stylized "open-wing" handles lend the piece a refined architectural silhouette, characteristic of high-end utility glass from the early modern era. Its delicate blush-pink hue and substantial molded form provide a compelling decorative presence, making it a versatile accent for curated tabletop arrangements.
Attribution & Period
Consistent with United States Glass Company (U.S. Glass)
1930s
The form, specific handle profile, and "Petal" or "Ribbed" motif are consistent with American pressed glass production of the 1930s. The clarity of the glass and the precision of the mold-work align with the output of major Ohio River Valley factories during the Depression era, specifically those producing "Elegant" glass lines intended for formal service.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The glass remains smooth and clear with no observed scratches, cracks, or "flea bite" chips. The rim and handles are well-preserved, maintaining their original molded crispness.
Authenticity & Construction
This piece is a classic example of American pressed glass technology. It was created using a multi-part metal mold, a process that allowed for the intricate repeating vertical ribs and the symmetrical execution of the decorative handles. The base features a central starburst or sunburst motif, a hallmark of high-quality period glass used to mask the mold's injection point while adding an extra layer of refractive brilliance.
Placement
Ideally suited for a vanity as a sculptural trinket dish, or integrated into a sophisticated tablescape. Its Art Deco geometry allows it to bridge the gap between traditional antique collections and clean, modern interiors.
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.
