Goofus glass by another name would be pressed glass or mold-blown glass with cold-painted (not fired on in a furnace) decoration. That’s quite a mouthful, so collectors simply prefer Goofus when referring to this type of decorative glassware.

Because the cold-painted decor flakes off easily, it’s quite difficult to find a piece of Goofus glass in perfect condition, whether the paint was applied to the outside or the inside of a piece.

The paint on Goofus glass pieces is usually gold mixed with red and/or green. Historians have had a hard time nailing down the exact time frame for Goofus glass production due to the lack of documentation by the original manufacturers, but 1897 through the early 1920s seems to be a good estimate based on current research.

This Bowl measures 9 7/8” Wide x 3” Tall. It weighs 1 pound 11 ounces or 27.02 ounces or 766 grams. less
