2010s-2020s. This is a contemporary mass-market item currently or recently available at major big-box retailers.
Material
Pressed Lime Glass. This is standard household grade glass, durable but not crystal.
Condition

Demand Level
Moderate. Dessert bowls are a steady seller, but this specific brand is not highly collectible compared to vintage Pyrex or Anchor Hocking.

Description
Set of 4 vintage-inspired glass dessert bowls from Circleware's 'Passion' collection. Each bowl features a classic fluted/ribbed design with a pedestal base and a 9 oz capacity. Perfect for serving ice cream, fruit, trifles, or parfaits. Elegant enough for dinner parties but durable enough for everyday use.
Key Features
Timeless fluted design resembling vintage Depression glass; heavy pedestal base for stability; dishwasher safe; large 9oz capacity is versatile for snacks or desserts.
Authenticity Indicators
The brand name 'Circleware' and collection name 'Passion' are clearly printed on the original manufacturer's packaging. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
The primary flaw is the condition of the box, which has crushing, scuffs, and a sticky residue from the Goodwill tag. One corner appears somewhat crushed. The glass itself should be checked for 'flea bites' or manufacturing imperfections.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Glass is heavy and fragile, making eBay shipping costs prohibitive relative to the item's value. Local pickup via Marketplace is the best way to maximize profit.
Selling Tips
Remove the thrift store sticker carefully using a heat gun or Goo Gone to improve presentation. In your listing, emphasize terms like 'Ribbed,' 'Pedestal,' and 'Trifle.' If selling online, double-box the set to ensure it arrives without breakage.
