    The pictures are a little blurry, but that looks like pressed glass, not cut glass. The edges look smooth and not sharp.

    There are no seams and the corners are quite sharp, the pictures may not show it. Some of the patterns are slightly asymmetrical and just enough different from each other to be cut glass.

    Cut crystal can also have rounded corners if they've been smoothed out. That's not the case here though.

    Depending on what you are using to take photos, if you take them from a bit further away and then crop, you sometimes get a clearer image.

    It looks European to me and likely post WW2. A lack of seams does not meant cut or blown as they can be polished out especially if the glass is cut. Blanks with molded major miters in the mold were often used for for cut glass patterns towards the end of the AB period and still are.

    Waterford is known to do this type of rolled top. I would start there.
    It doesn't appear to have the sharp cuts of older Waterford. However, the wear on the bottom gives it some age. Maybe 1980s?
