American Brilliant Period Style Triple Footed Cut Glass Candy Dish With Lid Appraisal

American Brilliant Period Style Triple-Footed Cut Glass Candy Dish with Lid

This is a substantial, clear heavy leaded glass candy dish featuring a globose or 'round' profile. The piece is highly decorative, showcasing an array of intricate geometric motifs characteristic of the American Brilliant Period (ABP) style. The body is constructed from clear, high-refraction glass and rests upon three elegant, curved glass legs that are integrated into the base. The surface decoration is divided into horizontal registers: the lower third features dense strawberry diamond or cross-cut patterns that extend toward the base, while the center band is composed of architectural vertical mitre cuts and panels containing stylized fan or shell motifs. The matching domed lid mirrors these patterns, transitioning from the vertical panels into a cross-hatched apex. The lid is topped with a tiered, faceted finial that displays precision cutting in a pineapple or faceted-ball shape, serving both as a decorative pinnacle and a functional handle. Based on the sharpness of the light refraction and the complexity of the motifs, the piece appears to be a mid-20th-century reproduction or a later high-quality piece of pressed blossom-and-cut glass. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible clouding (sickness), major chips to the delicate cutting edges, or significant scratching on the underside of the feet. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the alignment of the lid's pattern with the base and the clarity of the material.
