Antique Westmoreland "Fern Burst" 8.5" Low Concave Bowl With Sawtooth Rim

This antique Early American Pressed Glass bowl was made by Westmoreland Glass Company around 1905 in the striking "Fern Burst" pattern. It has that classic combination of starbursts and feathery ferns, with a beautifully scalloped edge and deep pressed details. The bowl is slightly raised on a small foot and has a gentle curve up at the edges-somewhere between a low bowl and a console centerpiece. Under a blacklight, this piece glows bright green, confirming it contains manganese-a common ingredient in glass from this time period. The glow is vivid and unmistakable, making it a great piece for collectors of manganese/glowing glass or EAPG. A beautiful display piece whether you're into vintage glass, turn-of-the-century tableware, or just something with a little glow to it.<br><br>Approximate Measurements:<br>8.5-9 inches in diameter<br>1.5-2 inches in height<br><br>Condition: Excellent<br>No chips or cracks<br>Excellent clarity and shine<br>Strong green glow under 365UV blacklight
