A vintage black amethyst glass footed fruit bowl or tazza, measuring approximately 4 inches in height and 8.5 inches in diameter. Crafted from deeply tinted glass that appears black but reveals a dark purple hue under bright light, this piece is indicative of early 20th-century American art deco styling. Often used as a compote or decorative centerpiece, such items may be associated with the "Black Forest" pattern by manufacturers like Paden City. Minor wear consistent with age and use.
