Cut Crystal Vase

This is a clear, colorless crystal vase, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century, possibly in the American Brilliant Cut Glass style or a similar heavily cut pattern. The vase features intricate cut glass patterns across its entire body, including starbursts, cross-hatching, and fan cuts, indicative of high-quality craftsmanship. The rim is scalloped and serrated with sharp, pointed facets, adding to its decorative appeal. The body of the vase tapers slightly from a wider, flared opening to a narrower base, which is also heavily cut with radiating patterns and a scalloped edge, providing stability. The highly refractive nature of the crystal gives it a brilliant sparkle, characteristic of leaded glass. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are visible from the provided images, suggesting it is in good to excellent condition for its age. There might be minor surface scratches consistent with normal use and age, but these aren't clearly discernible. No distinct maker's marks or signatures are visible, which is common for many pieces of this period. The overall quality and complexity of the cutting indicate it was a finely made piece, designed for aesthetic display.
