Vintage clear pressed glass bowl or posy vase H=80mm D=100mm

vintage clear pressed glass bowl or posy vase, possibly a specific design such as the Sowerby No. 2639 model. These items were widely manufactured, particularly during the Art Deco era in the 1930s, and feature a distinct, non-sharp, rounded pattern that is characteristic of pressed, rather than cut, glass. 

Key Details and Identification

Type: The object is a small, footed bowl made of clear, pressed glass. The designs on pressed glass have a smooth, molded feel, unlike the sharp edges of hand-cut glass.

Design: It features a decorative pattern of leaves and a wide, octagonal, scalloped rim.

Possible Origin: Based on similar listings, a likely manufacturer is the British company Sowerby, who produced an almost identical model (No. 2639) in clear glass. Many vintage pressed glass items are unmarked, so identifying the specific maker often relies on matching the pattern and shape.

Common Use: Originally, such bowls were versatile items used for serving nuts, candy, relishes, or as small flower (posy) vases.
