Description
Lovely vintage Federal Glass 'Windsor' pattern bowl in a soft pink hue. This berry bowl features a sharp, geometric diamond-point design that radiates from the center, finished with a scalloped sawtooth rim. Approximately 5-6 inches in diameter, perfect for serving fruit, desserts, or as a decorative trinket dish.
Key Features
Authentic pink depression glass; popular 'Windsor' (Diamond) pattern; collectible Federal Glass maker; highly displayable geometric texture.
Authenticity Indicators
The Windsor pattern was famously produced by Federal Glass in this specific pink shade. Lack of a maker's mark is common for this era, but the pattern detail and glass weight are consistent with originals. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
A small red marking (possibly grease pencil or ink) is visible on the bottom center; should be removable with alcohol or gentle cleaning. Check scalloped edges for tiny 'flea bite' chips.

Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'Vintage Pink Depression Glass' and 'Federal Glass Windsor Pattern' in the title. Photography is key: take photos against a plain white background and with light passing through the glass to show the color. Wrap extremely well in bubble wrap for shipping.
