American Brilliant Period (ABP) Cut Glass Antique 8" Bowl With Sawtooth Rim and Floral Design. This Beautiful antique CUT GLASS bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, cloudiness or repairs. All the teeth are in intact. The glass is water clear and the cutting is sharp.
This cut leaded crystal (or cut glass) bowl has three distinguishing characteristics: a bell-like ring when gently tapped with the finger, a clarity and brilliance unmatched by pressed or molded imitations, and weight noticeably greater than the same sized piece made of unleaded glass.
American Brilliant cut glass is appropriately named, for that is literally what it is. The cutting is brilliant because it is sharp and deep, reflecting light from highly polished surfaces. It is deep because it was made from leaded crystal that was beautiful in its clarity even though thick enough to be cut in high relief. Imaginative designers improved upon traditional motifs, arranging them in varying ways to provide for optimum reflective surfaces. American Brilliant Period cut glass was the end product of talented, resourceful craftsmen who capitalized on new glass technology, using new cutting methods made possible with electric powered cutting tools - all at a time when beautiful handmade articles were more appreciated than their machine made counterparts.
This Bowl is from the American Brilliant Period which was between 1886 -1916.
The Bowl measures 8" in diameter x 4” high. It weighs 3.75 pounds or 60 ounces or 1700 grams. less
