Hello!
My name is Flex and I have enjoyed collecting vintage Carnival Glass for many years. My father had a few pieces when I was young, and some family members began collecting reproduction/recent pieces in the 1990's, which got me started on my own purchases of vintage CG.
Along the way I have picked up many other genres of glassware, including EAPG, Depression, and cut glass.
The photos are of a recent purchase that I have been unable to ID for either pattern/shape or manufacturer. It really does not have the feel or appearance of a quality cut-glass piece, but has no evident mold-lines. ‘Rings’ like cheap crystal. It appears to either be a single piece of glass with solid stem and hollow foot, or perhaps the bowl was joined to the stem during manufacturing. It weighs a fairly hefty 1 pound. The thickness of the lip of the bowl is approx. 3/8” and it sits nearly 8” high with a 3 3/8” mouth opening and about a 3” foot. Does not appear very old, reminds me of the cheap mid-century stuff from Anchor Hocking. It has varying 12-point ‘stars’ and star clusters, with the top and bottom matching, separated by a central line.
Cannot find anything like it in my hours of online searching, tho.
Found at a yard sale with a great deal of glassware for sale, everything from Anchor Hocking to French-made crystal.
Is it a stemmed rose bowl, stemmed votive or hurricane lamp, or other?
Manufacturer? General mfg date?
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Unfortunately your phiots are too small to see any detail & you don't give any size.

I hate that the limitations on photos for this site, and for each post, are a total of only 500k for 4 photos, but I carefully followed the site instructions in providing the most comprehensive photos that I was able.
Furthermore, I did give specific measurements on the piece, contrary to your comments.
If you can't offer any insight into what the piece may be, in terms of pattern/shape or manufacturer, then I would respectfully ask that you keep any inane and/or incorrect comments to yourself.
Please build your post count elsewhere
Thanks.

My fault I was trying to concentrate on the small photos & missed the size. I am not worried about my post count just like I am not worried about trying to assist you offering any insight with 40 years of experience since you decide to run your mouth right out of the gate. Hows that for an inane comment slick?
Sorry for the blunt response mods, but here is a fellow U.S. newbie that needs to put a cork in it.

It seems to be the way you have resized that is the problem; your pictures have a large kb size but a very small pixel size so they don't blow up. If we can't see detail, we can't help. At the moment, all we can see are postage stamps. You don't need to make thumbnails; the board does that. I take a high-res photo, crop off most of the excess and then resize so that the longest dimension is 700 pixels and that seems to work. They come in well within the size limits and they blow up.
Pictures are also much better against plain (dark in this case) backgrounds. We would also like a picture of the whole thing. If you need more photos just reply to yourself
[PS Good manners and respect cost nothing]
