Cape Cod Shard ID?

I found this beauty on Cape Cod, where I live, and am in awe! By far the most beautiful piece I have found.

I'm stumped as to what it could be - I've heard bottle bottom, teacup plate, etc. Anyone know for sure what this is?

The design is stunning! Thank you :)

 drinking glass bottom.
by: Sea glass addict

There was a series of Depression glass drink ware with that pattern on the bottom. Your piece was most likely clear originally. And with exposure to the sun turned violet. Very nice find!

I'd like to think it would have been a small perfume jar with a screw top lid.

 Glass flower star pattern

This pattern is commonly found on the bottom of glass vases, butter dishes candle holders. It is one of my favorites patterns. You have got a beautiful piece.

 Could be whiskey glass
by: Pete

I have some cocktail glasses with a similar design cut into the bottom.

From your photo I'd guess that piece to be about 2-3 inches in diameter, a bit small for a cocktail glass.

We had some "depression glass" wine glasses with the same design that would be closer in size.

We used to use the glasses to push down Peanut Butter cookies before baking, it left a nice raised pattern on top of the cookie.

Nice find! It would make a beautiful necklace.

Hi Pete - wow, I looked at the size and the pattern of this piece and came to that same conclusion. But I didn't remember about using the glasses for cookies until you mentioned it :)

Thanks for bringing back the memories. I can just smell and taste those cookies baking. Ummmm...

 Juice glass ?
by: Gayle

It looks very similar to the bottom of a juice glass I have. Mine is from France, My dad bought them in the 60's when he was in the navy.
