Amber pressed glass stemmed compote or sherbet glass
Estimated Value
$10-$35
A tall amber-colored pressed glass stemmed vessel with a wide flared rim, tapered conical bowl, and round foot. The body shows vertical ribbing or fluting that gives it a decorative, faceted appearance. The form suggests it may be a sherbet glass, compote, or small dessert stem rather than a drinking goblet. The glass has a warm translucent amber tone typical of mass-produced decorative glassware from the mid-20th century. No maker's mark is visible from this angle.
