Description
AMERICAN BRILLIANT CUT LEAD CRYSTAL PUNCHBOWL; THE GLASS STOCK IS 3/4 OF INCH THICK; IT IS 11-1/2 INCHES TALL; 14-1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND WEIGHTS 24 LBS. TYPICALLY VICTORIAN BUSYNESS IN ITS CUT AND DECORATION. THIS WAS FOOTWHEEL CUTTING MOST PROBABLY GERMAN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND PROBABLY BETWEEN 1870-1890. THE RIM IS DEEPLY SERRATED AROUND ITS 46" CIRCUMFERENCE. ITS TOP EDGE IS DECORATED WITH 20 DEEPLY CUT HATCHED DIAMONDS IN A STAR PATTERN. EACH HAS A 5/8 INCH MEDALLION IN ITS CENTER CARVED WITH AN IMPOSSIBLE 8 POINT STAR. THE COLUMNS EXTEND FROM THE DIAMONDS TO THE BOTTOM OF BOWL WHERE THEY SEEM TO CONTINUE DOWN THE BASE TO SMALLER DIAMONDS BUT IDENTICAL TO THOSE ON THE BOWL ITSELF.THE COLUMS ARE IN ALTERNATING PRS. THE COLUMNS THEMSELVES RICHLY DECORATED; ONE PR. WITH CONCAVITIES AND THE OTHER WITH FINE SERRATIONS. THE BASE RIM IS BORDERED WITH SERRATIONS AS THE TOP BUT FINER. THE BOWL'S BOTTOM IS A 4-1/2 INCH SUNBURST RICHLY HATCHED INTO A 22 POINT STAR WITH WHEEL AT CENTER. THERE IS ONE BUBBLE IN THE GLASS BEHIND A COLUMN AND ONLY VISIBLE FROM INSIDE. IT IS 1/8 INCH MOON-SHAPED BUBBLE. THE PIECE WAS DISCOVERED IN A LONG ISLAND ESTATE AUCTION IN 1949. NO HISTORY WAS AVAILABLE AND NO MAKERS MARK FOUND. WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PATTERNING SIMILAR IN AVAILABLE CATEGORIES. AHHHH!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE A CHURCHBELL, REALLY!! I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN BRILLIANT ON THE MARKET TODAY.
