Description
From a local Atlanta estate comes this lovely late 1800s-early 1900s American Brilliant Period cut crystal fruit bowl . The bowl measures a tad over 10" long, 7 1-2" wide, & 4" high, & it's a lovely oval shape, considerably more rare than the big round fruit bowls that are much more plentiful. I cannot find a name on this bowl but I am sure it is from a very sought after & collectible company. I have been looking to see if I can find the same pattern on a signed bowl but so far have not found out any more details. I welcome information about it. The base has expected scratches showing the passing of many years....it's exactly what I look for in making sure of authenticity when it comes to antique lead glass crystal. The bowl has an ornately & deeply cut design all around it. The classic cut work is exquisite & lovely. I welcome any information you may have on the name of the work...i can't find a signature on the glass. It's heavy lead crystal & you certainly can tell from its weight of over 4 pounds before it's even packed. Like most antique crystal American brilliant. Pieces, there is some damage on it. If you feel the sawtooth rim you will see that there are some chips & nicks out of it. in my opinion there is an acceptable amount of chips, & it's fine exactly as is or ready for restoration should the next owner decide to have them buffed out a bit. The bowl is in AS IS good antique preowned condition. There are also the typical little "bites" on the sides on the outside of the bowl as would be expected, as well as minimal surface scratches from previous use. It is quite common with these beautiful crystal fruit bowls to have damage on the saw tooth edges, & I know that there are glass repair people who can buff these areas out if you seek restoration or repair. Overall, this has been assessed to have an acceptable amount of wear & would be fine exactly as it is when displaying it in the home. There is nothing about it that is in need of immediate attention or that detracts from the overall beauty of this piece.
