American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Oval Bowl

Story

During the late 1800s, a revolution in dining occurred as the newly invented incandescent light bulb began to replace dim gas lamps in wealthy homes.

Maker / Origin

While this piece appears unsigned, it was likely produced in one of the great glass centers like Corning, New York, or Toledo, Ohio.

Condition & Value

The glass appears clear without significant 'sick glass' clouding. The sharp points of the hobstars and the serrated rim are the most prone to damage; any small nicks (flea bites) will slightly reduce the value. The base likely shows shelf wear consistent with age.
