Pinwheel Pattern Cut Crystal Trumpet Vase

This item is a clear, brilliant-cut crystal trumpet vase featuring a traditional pinwheel or starburst motif. Standing approximately 8 to 10 inches tall, the vase displays a flared rim that tapers down to a cinched waist before resting on a weighted, star-cut circular foot. The construction is heavy lead crystal, evidenced by the sharp, light-refracting edges of the deeply cut geometric patterns. The primary decorative element is a series of large, multi-pointed pinwheels separated by cross-hatched diamond cuts and vertical miter leaf patterns. The top rim is finished with a scalloped or serrated edge, characteristic of European or American brilliant period styles. Condition-wise, the glass remains clear without significant clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome, though minor shelf wear is visible on the base. While no acid-etched maker's mark is immediately legible in the photograph, the pattern is highly reminiscent of mid-20th-century Bohemian or Polish crystal imports. The craftsmanship shows high-quality glass pressing followed by hand-cutting, resulting in a vibrant play of light through the facets. There are no large chips or structural cracks apparent, suggesting it has been well-maintained as a decorative piece.
