Cut and Etched Glass Bowl

This is a clear glass bowl, likely made of crystal due to its brilliance and the quality of the cutwork. The bowl is approximately 6-8 inches in diameter at the rim and has a slightly flared shape from the base to the top. The base is a thick, heavy faceted design, providing stability. The sides of the bowl are decorated with intricate cut and etched patterns. The upper portion features a repeating leaf and vine motif that appears to be acid etched or sandblasted, creating a frosted effect. Below this design, there is a band of deeply cut geometric patterns, likely executed by hand, which catch the light and demonstrate a higher level of craftsmanship. The rim has a scalloped or undulating edge, also cut from the glass. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear in the image, suggesting it is in good condition. The manufacturing appears to be of a higher quality, indicated by the detailed cutting and etching. Based on the style of the etching and cutting, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, possibly as a decorative or serving bowl.
