Hi pottie pals! I am learning and don't know a lot about glass I was thinking because this has a seam that it would be considered pressed and possibly EAPG 3 1/4" tall x 5" wide (including the trim) What do you call the edge on top, lace? Would this be a dessert, sherbert or what? Would the color be considered forest green? Does anyone recognize the company that made this? I hope I got something right! Thanks for any and all help

Hello, It is not Forest Green, more like the green in the 70s, I have seen these around for several years, if memory serves me right I think they were used by florists. The first time I saw one, I tried my best to think the pattern was American Sweetheart, a depression era pattern, but it is not. Forest Green is a really dark green. Hope this helps.

It is pressed glass. It is NOT early american pattern glass. The design work on the bowl is not sharply defined enough to be the intricately designed and hand pressed work of the EAPG period. In other words, it lacks the handcrafted quality of the period. It is a machine pressed piece. To answer your first question, it is a reticulated edge.
