American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Bud Vase

This is a tall, slender bud-style vase crafted from high-quality find cut crystal, likely dating from the American Brilliant Period (circa 1876-1917). The piece features a traditional trumpet silhouette with a flared, scalloped rim known as a 'sawtooth' edge. The body is extensively decorated with deeply hand-cut geometric patterns, including classic motifs such as hobstars, strawberry diamond fields, and vertical miter cuts that create a high degree of light refraction. The glass appears clear and brilliant with no visible clouding, suggesting a high lead content typical of premium makers like Waterford, Libbey, or Hawkes. The vase tapers down to a narrow waist and is supported by a star-cut circular footed base. In terms of condition, the piece shows excellent clarity; however, the sawtooth rim should be inspected for minute 'flea bite' chips commonly found in cut glass of this age. There are no obvious cracks or major repairs visible. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-end glassblowing and manual cutting techniques, with sharp edges on the indentations and a heavy, weighted feel for its size.
