American Brilliant Period Style Cut Glass Bowl
This is a heavy, circular cut-glass bowl featuring a complex geometric pattern characteristic of the American Brilliant Period (ABP) style. The bowl is constructed from thick, high-clarity manganese glass, which often exhibits a faint yellow or green tint under certain lighting conditions. The central motif consists of a multi-pointed starburst, surrounded by three large bifurcated 'arms' that organize the field. These sections contain intricate hobnail, strawberry diamond, and fan-shaped cutting patterns. Three large whirled rosettes or 'pinwheels' are positioned between the arms, adding a sense of dynamic movement to the design. The rim is finished with a rhythmic sawtooth or scalloped edge, providing a sharp tactile quality to the piece. The craftsmanship shows high-quality intaglio and deep relief cutting, which creates significant light refraction. Regarding condition, there is visible surface grime and dust within the deep crevices, and the sawtooth rim appears to have minor flea bites or small chips, which is common for glassware of this age and style. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image, but the weight and complexity suggest late 19th-century to early 20th-century production. A small green price tag is adhered to the interior center.
