Footed Cut Crystal Bud Vase

This item is a small, footed bud vase crafted from clear lead crystal. It features a classic trumpet shape that flares significantly at the rim, tapering down to a narrow stem and resting on a circular, ray-cut base. The body of the vase is decorated with a deep, geometric diamond-cut pattern (cross-hatch) that extends around its circumference, designed to maximize light refraction and brilliance. The upper rim appears slightly thickened and polished to a smooth finish. Based on the sharpness of the facets and the clarity of the glass, it appears to be mid-20th-century pressed or cut glass, possibly of American or European origin. The item stands approximately 4 to 6 inches tall. In terms of condition, the crystal remains clear with no immediate evidence of clouding or heavy sickness. There is a minor visible irregularity on the top rim that could indicate a small chip or manufacturing flea bite. The base shows minimal shelf wear consistent with age. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the photograph, though its heavy construction and pattern suggest a mass-market quality glass reminiscent of patterns by makers like Anchor Hocking or similar pressed glass manufacturers.
