Mid-century German Emerald Green Cut-to-Clear Glass Pedestal Bowl

This exquisite decorative piece is a mid-20th-century German cut glass pedestal bowl, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship associated with renowned glassmakers like Lausitzer Glas or Nachtmann. The bowl features a vibrant emerald green 'cased' or 'flashed' glass body that has been meticulously cut through to a clear crystal core. The pattern consists of geometric starbursts, deep vertical mitre cuts, and intricate hatchings that create a stunning play of light and shadow. The bowl is supported by a solid clear crystal pedestal base with a faceted stem, likely joined via a wafer connection. Physically, the item appears medium-sized, suitable for a table centerpiece. Its construction is heavy and indicative of lead crystal, which provides exceptional clarity and resonance. The style is classic European decorative arts with a Mid-Century Modern timing. Though the provided image shows the item in an appraisal context, the condition appears excellent with distinct crispness to the wheel-cut edges. There is no visible chipping or clouding, suggesting well-maintained preservation. Such pieces often bore foil labels rather than acid stamps, which may be missing, but the design language is definitively German. The quality is marked by the precision of the cuts and the deep, uniform saturation of the green glass layer against the transparent crystal.
