Antique Amber Cut-to-Clear Glass Chalice on Ornate Gilt Bronze Base

This is a highly decorative antique chalice or vase featuring a goblet-shaped bowl made of amber-colored cut-to-clear glass. The glass is intricately wheel-cut with a geometric diamond trellis pattern, where each larger diamond contains a multi-pointed 'starburst' or 'sunburst' motif and stylized floral/foliate elements below. The bowl sits atop an ornate, neoclassical-style gilt bronze or brass pedestal base. The base features a fluted stem, acanthus leaf accents, and a wide, tiered circular foot supported by four scroll-shaped feet. The metal exhibits a dark, aged patina consistent with an antique piece, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (Victorian or Belle Époque period). While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the image, the quality of the glass cutting and the cast metalwork indicates a high level of craftsmanship, possibly of French or Bohemian origin. The condition appears fair to good; there is a visible chip or rough edge on the upper rim of the glass bowl on the right side, and the metal base shows heavy oxidation and verdigris in the recessed areas. A white auction sticker numbered '192' from 'Kim's Auction' is currently affixed to the upper body of the glass bowl.
