Hexagonal Cut Crystal Trinket Box

This is a small, two-piece hexagonal trinket or vanity box crafted from high-quality clear lead crystal. The box features deeply cut vertical fluting around the exterior walls and a starburst or sunburst pattern radiating from the center of both the base and the lid. The lid is designed with a decorative raised finial or handle that mirrors the geometric cuts of the body. Physically, the item appears to be roughly 3 to 4 inches in diameter with a heavy, substantial feel typical of leaded glass. The crispness of the facets suggests a high level of craftsmanship, likely from a mid-20th-century manufacturer such as Waterford or Baccarat, though no specific acid-etched mark is visible in the photograph. The glass exhibits brilliant light refraction and clarity, indicating it has been well-maintained. Condition-wise, the edges of the facets seem sharp with no prominent chips or cracks immediately visible, and there is a lack of clouding or 'sickness' in the glass. The style is classic and geometric, consistent with Hollywood Regency or refined mid-century décor. Such pieces were commonly used on dressing tables to hold jewelry, powder, or small keepsakes.
