This lot features a single footed compote or bowl composed of green slag glass, a material also referred to as marble or malachite glass. The piece is characterized by its opaque, multi-colored swirling pattern containing shades of forest green, white, and hints of charcoal, intended to simulate the appearance of natural malachite. The form consists of a widely flared rim with deep ruffles and a fluted edge. The vessel body tapers into a faceted hexagonal stem, which is joined to a matching hexagonal pedestal foot. While the design and color palette are characteristic of mid-20th-century manufacturers such as the Imperial Glass Company, the absence of an embossed factory mark necessitates an attribution in that style. A small, circular gold-toned sticker is adhered to the base, bearing the handwritten digits 220 in black ink. Dimensions: Consult auctioneer for physical measurements.
