Lot 351:
Amethyst Pressed Glass Moon and Star Pattern Pedestal Bowl
Sold for: $70
Description
This flared pedestal bowl is constructed from deep amethyst-colored pressed glass. It features the traditional Moon and Star pattern, also known as the Palace pattern, characterized by large, concave circular thumbprints (moons) alternating with embossed multi-pointed star medallions. The bowl displays a wide, ruffled, and scalloped rim. The design continues onto the short circular pedestal base, which is adorned with a repeating star motif around its circumference. The glass exhibits a rich purple translucency that appears nearly opaque in thicker sections of the molding. The underside of the base is embossed with the characters M & S in the center. This mark is associated with 20th-century reproductions of the Victorian pattern, often produced by companies such as Weishar using molds from manufacturers like L.E. Smith.
Condition report:
The bowl is in very good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or fractures. The ruffled rim is intact and free of nicks. There is no significant surface scratching or wear to the base.
