Description
Lovely vintage Windsor Clear pedestal candy dish by Federal Glass. This piece features a classic diamond point pattern that catches the light beautifully, topped with a smooth-rimmed bowl and a decorative knop on the stem.

Authenticity Indicators
Federal Glass items often featured an 'F' inside a shield mark on the bottom, though many pieces in the Windsor line remained unmarked. The specific diamond point arrangement and the faceted 'knop' on the stem are characteristic of Federal's 1970s production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No significant flaws. Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the inner rim and around the base which are common in pressed glass of this age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor enthusiasts), eBay (highest reach), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark or solid color background to let the diamond pattern pop. Use keywords like 'Diamond Point', 'Pressed Glass', 'Federal Glass Windsor', and 'Grandmillennial'. Ship with double boxes to ensure it arrives unbroken.
