Presented is a lovely American Brilliant Period cut glass bowl or dish. This piece is unsigned, like many ABP pieces, but the high quality of the work suggests a high end, well known maker like Hawkes, Tuthill, Dorflinger, or the like. The bowl is beautifully and intricately cut with various sizes of hob star as well as fans and panels of Russian check patterning, throughout the entirety. The rim is done in a scalloped and toothed form, relatively shallow but suitable for a fruit bowl or small centerpiece.
This piece is in good overall condition. There is a noticeable chip between two of the scallops of the edge, which we point out in the sixth photograph, as well as some other chips to the teeth and the high points of the decoration here and there, but the one we point out is the most visible by far. No sickness or clouding to the glass.
The dish measures about 9 inches in diameter and stands about 3 inches tall at the rim. -jm
