Vintage Westmoreland Glass Pedestal Dish Wakefield Pattern W/Ruby Red Flashing

This is a stunning vintage Westmoreland footed pedestal bowl, often referred to as a candy dish or compote. It features a clear glass body with distinctive ruby or cranberry red flashing in a diamond-quilted or teardrop pattern. Pattern: The diamond-cut texture with red accents is characteristic of patterns like "Waterford" (also known as "Wakefield") produced by the Westmoreland Glass Co. between approximately 1950 and 1981. Technique: The red color is likely achieved through staining or flashing, where a thin layer of colored glass (often using sulfate copper or gold salts) is applied over clear lead crystal. Style: This mid-century piece features a scalloped or ruffled rim and a multi-faceted pedestal base 6.5”x 5.25”x 2.5” Base
