Amber glass decorative bowl or compote with fluted/petal form
Estimated Value
$20-$75
A decorative amber glass vessel with a wide, organic petal- or flower-shaped rim and a central raised stem-like knop. The form suggests a compote, centerpiece bowl, or decorative serving dish. The glass appears molded or pressed rather than hand-blown, with radiating flutes and a glossy translucent amber finish. The design is attractive and functional, typical of mid-century decorative glassware intended for table display or serving.
