Deep cobalt, hobnail-textured exterior, smooth interior, three small feet, and a wavy rim with three peaks — this bowl is simply beautiful, and whoever made it knew exactly what they were doing. Possibly recycled glass.
Use it as a candy or nut dish, a catchall by the door, a centerpiece on a small table, or a home for jewelry on the dresser. It would look stunning with a votive inside.
Hobnail glass, with its raised dot texture, has been a popular American pressed and blown glass style since the Victorian era, revived repeatedly through the 20th century by makers from Fenton to smaller regional glasshouses — this piece's mystery origin is part of a long tradition of hobnail glass changing hands across manufacturers.
