Era / Decade
1970s-1980s based on the pressed glass mold style and commonality in floral supply trade during this era.
Material
Pressed clear glass; heavy Lead-free soda-lime glass. The clarity is decent but contains visible mold seams indicating it is mass-produced rather than hand-cut crystal.
Condition
Good. The piece appears intact with the lid present. There is noticeable surface dust and shelf wear. A common 'flea bite' (tiny chip) may be present on the inner rim due to the lid's friction.
Demand Level
Moderate. These items have a steady niche following among grandmother-chic or traditional decor enthusiasts but are not currently 'hot' trending items.
