American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Bowl

American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Bowl A heavy lead crystal centerpiece bowl featuring wheel-cut floral and geometric motifs with a scalloped sawtooth rim. Produced during the American Brilliant Period, which peaked between 1876 and 1917, these items were prized for their high lead content and exceptional clarity. Master craftsmen used rotating stone wheels to hand-cut intricate patterns like the daisy and cane designs seen here, making these pieces staples of Victorian and Edwardian high-society dining.
