Zajecar 24% Lead Crystal Footed Centerpiece Bowl
This is a vintage Yugoslavian footed centerpiece bowl produced by Zajecar, crafted from 24% lead crystal which provides notable weight and clear light refraction. The bowl features a scalloped, saw-tooth rim transitioning into a body decorated with intricate pressed patterns. The design includes large oval medallions featuring frosted or matte-finished floral and wheat leaf motifs, contrasted against deep diamond-cut and geometric starburst textures. The bowl is supported by a short, faceted hexagonal stem that rests on a matching hexagonal tiered base. There is an original dark manufacture's sticker visible near the rim, which identifies the crystal origin and content. The craftsmanship displays heavy vertical walls and sharp mold lines characteristic of mass-produced European crystal from the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1970s-1980s). The condition appears well-preserved with no visible chips or cracks on the primary surfaces, showing only light surface wear consistent with age and typical shelf life. The high lead content ensures a resonant ring when tapped and a brilliant sparkle under direct lighting.
