Cut Crystal Glass Vase

This item is a decorative clear cut crystal vase, characterized by its flared shape and intricately patterned surface. The vase features a scalloped, saw-tooth rim that transitions into a body adorned with traditional deep-cut patterns, including starbursts (hobs), cross-hatching, and vertical leaf-like mitre cuts. These cuts are designed to maximize light refraction, indicating a high lead content common in quality crystal. The base is circular with a star-cut underside and a serrated edge for stability. Measuring approximately 8 to 10 inches in height, the piece displays excellent clarity without visible cloudiness or significant mineral deposits. There appear to be no major chips or cracks on the sharp edges of the cuts, suggesting it has been well-preserved. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the image, the style is consistent with mid-20th-century European craftsmanship, possibly originating from makers like Waterford, Baccarat, or high-end Bohemian glassworks. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the geometric symmetry and the brilliance of the glass polish.
