Antique Victorian glass bowl featuring hand-painted floral Image brides bowl

This item is an antique Victorian art glass bowl featuring hand-painted enamel floral decoration. These pieces, often referred to as "bride's bowls" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, typically have a ruffled or crimped edge and a smooth, polished pontil mark on the base.

Material: It is cased glass, meaning one layer of colored glass (pink/cranberry) is applied over an opaque white layer. Decoration: The dish features hand-painted enamel decoration, a popular technique of the era. The floral pattern appears to depict orchids or lilies with yellow and green leaves and white and blue accents.

Shape: The bowl has a distinctive ruffled, fluted, or pinched edge, giving it an organic, flower-like appearance. Maker: Many pieces like this are unmarked, but similar items were made by various American and English art glass companies, including Fenton and Mt.
