This is a round, heavy glass object featuring an intricate starburst or rosette pattern pressed into the glass.
Here is a breakdown of its characteristics:
Shape and Structure: Unlike the previous square neon variants, this piece is entirely circular with a thick, smooth outer rim. It functions as either a heavy glass paperweight or the base of a vintage pressed-glass item (such as an inkwell or a small decorative dish).
Intricate Pattern: The underside features a classic, molded starburst design consisting of a central circle from which multi-faceted, wedge-shaped rays radiate outward. These rays terminate in a jagged, multi-pointed star edge near the rim.
Material and Clarity: It is made of clear, thick glass that shows a slight greenish tint along the thickest parts of the outer rim, a common characteristic of vintage molded glassware.
Setting: It is pictured from a top-down perspective resting on a cream-colored fabric surface detailed with a metallic gold paisley (kalka) pattern.
