Pinwheel and Crosshatch Cut Crystal Trumpet Vase
This is a heavy-weight, clear cut crystal vase featuring a classic trumpet-flared silhouette and intricate hand-cut or machine-cut geometric patterns. The primary decorative motif consists of large, deeply cut triangular panels filled with a fine diamond-point crosshatch or 'strawberry diamond' texture, flanked by vertical rows of thumbprint coin-cuts. Near the rim, fanned starburst or 'palmette' cuts add a radiating effect. The upper rim is finished with a rhythmic sawtooth or scalloped edge, a characteristic of American Brilliant Period style or later 20th-century European reproductions. The base is thick and solid, providing stability for the vessel's top-heavy design. The glass appears to have a high lead content based on the sharpness of the light refraction and the clarity of the material. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the photograph, though such pieces are commonly produced by makers like Waterford, Mikasa, or various Bohemian glasshouses. The condition appears fair to good with no major cracks visible; however, the sawtooth rim should be inspected for micro-chipping, a common issue with this style. The style is reminiscent of the early 20th century but likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century as a heritage-inspired decorative piece.
