Crystal Clear Industries Lead Crystal Lidded Biscuit Jar

This is a heavy, lead crystal lidded jar or biscuit barrel produced in Poland for Crystal Clear Industries. The item displays high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of 20th-century Polish glassmaking, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s. The body of the jar features a complex interplay of deep geometric cuts, including vertical sweeping plumes (thumbprints) and a traditional diamond-hatch crisscross pattern that provides significant light refraction and brilliance. The construction is robust, featuring a thick, starburst-cut base for stability. The matching lid is domed with a multi-faceted finial handle, repeating the diamond-cut motif to create a cohesive aesthetic. The crystal appears clear with no visible clouding, though lead crystal of this age typically shows minor shelf wear on the resting surface of the base. The sharpness of the cut edges indicates a high lead content, which enhances the optical 'fire' of the piece. Given the 'Made in Poland' context, this piece is likely 24% lead crystal. No major chips, cracks, or repairs are visible in the photograph, suggesting the item has been well-maintained as a decorative or service piece.
