Bohemian Cut Crystal "Brandy Snifter" Decanter or Large Goblet

This item is a clear, colorless cut crystal vessel, likely a large brandy snifter or a small decanter/goblet due to its rounded body and short stem with a wide foot. It is crafted from Bohemian crystal, known for its high lead content, which gives it exceptional brilliance and weight. The vessel features intricate, deeply cut patterns across its entire surface, particularly on the rounded bowl and extending onto the foot. The primary design motif consists of radiating starbursts and fan-like cuts, characteristic of traditional Bohemian or Irish cut glass. The cuts are sharp and precise, indicating quality craftsmanship. These deep facets catch and refract light beautifully, creating a sparkling effect. One prominent starburst pattern is visible at the very bottom center of the bowl, with other fan and cross-hatch cuts spiraling upwards and outwards. The rim appears smooth and finished. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear in the provided images, suggesting it is in good, possibly excellent, condition. The foot is flat and circular, providing stability, and also features some radiating cut lines echoing the main body's design. The overall aesthetic is classical and luxurious, indicative of a piece from the mid-20th century or possibly earlier, though without specific maker's marks, a precise age is difficult to determine. The quality of the cuts points to a well-made, potentially hand-cut item.
