Vintage L.E. Smith MCM Black Amethyst Glass Square Scalloped Petal Footed Bowl

Vintage MCM Black Amethyst Glass Square Scalloped Petal Footed Bowl Unmarked but the design is identifiable as that of American glassmaker L.E. Smith, dating to the 1940s. Umbrella / Tulip shaped bowl with raised and dipped ruffled or scalloped petal edges, square shape with four sides and 8 peaks - on a pedestal foot. Mid century modern does art deco revival. Perfect size to be a smaller fruit bowl or to hold something decorative on a table or countertop, potentially useful for food service, definitely a beautiful piece for display or among a collection of other cool amethyst glass items! This bowl has some minor issues - a bit of surface scratching on one area of the rounded outer edge, and a very small chip on the rim where one of the scallops dips down. The chip isn't sharp or very noticeable except on close inspection. All of the noted issues can be seen in the close up photos, but the piece is still unique and desirable in my opinion!
