The crisp, smooth circle at the centre contrasted by the starkly textured sides indicates the glass was molten and pressed into a multi-part metal mould. The texture on the outer walls mimics a hammered or bark-like organic finish. While the body is machine-pressed, the dramatic ruffled petal rim was often finished by hand. While the glass was still hot and pliable, artisans used tools to bend and fold the edges into the distinctive wavy clover shape before cooling. This specific combination of clear textured glass and a heavily scalloped, flower-like profile is very characteristic of mid-century manufacturers such as the Jeannette Glass Company, Federal Glass, and KIG Indonesia, who specialized in highly stylized, affordable decorative tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"\u003eThe bowl unfortunately has a chip on two of the hand-crimped petals \u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e(please see picture)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, aside from which it is still in good usable vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"\u003eHeight: 6.2 cm, Diameter of base: 9 cm, Diameter of rim: 22 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelley Liebetrau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714675863733,"sku":"D115","price":15.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/9882\/9493\/files\/20260617_131107.jpg?v=1781696060","url":"https:\/\/www.prelovedgoodies.co.za\/products\/vintage-clear-pressed-glass-serving-bowl-with-crimped-rim","provider":"Affordable Preloved Goodies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
