Cut Crystal Flower Vase

This is a clear, cut crystal vase, designed for holding flowers. The vase is characterized by its geometric, faceted cuts that run vertically along its body, creating a striking play of light and shadow, and refracting ambient light into prismatic colors, especially visible near the base. The material appears to be high-quality lead crystal, indicated by its clarity, brilliance, and the sharp, precise angles of the cuts. The overall shape is a flared cylindrical or conical form, widening slightly towards the top. The rim of the vase is uniquely scalloped or zigzag-shaped, adding an intricate detail that distinguishes it from more common smooth-rimmed vases. The base of the vase is substantial and also heavily faceted, providing stability and contributing to the item's overall sparkling aesthetic. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the surface, suggesting it is in excellent condition. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernable from the provided image. Based on its style and craftsmanship, it likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly a decorative item from a known crystal manufacturer. The intricate cutting and polished surfaces suggest a well-made, possibly machine-cut but finely finished piece of decorative glassware.
