We have this vintage clear glass footed 6” glass compote or a pedestal candy dish with a green glass pedestal base.
It features a textured, beaded floral pattern molded onto the clear upper bowl, which is finished with a distinct scalloped rim. It was part of mid-century multi-colored rainbow sets
The mold number "5" stamped into the center of the base indicates the specific machine mold cavity used during production. This was a standard practice for Anchor Hocking and other mid-century manufacturers to trace defect patterns back to the factory equipment.
Additionally, the vibrant, translucent apple-green color of this particular base strongly suggests it is uranium glass (often referred to as Vaseline glass).
Because uranium oxide was commonly used as a colorant in green glass from the Depression era through the mid-20th century
