From the American Brilliant period of cut glass / crystal, this massive punch bowl - from the late 1800’s -
Is exquisitely cut with undulating sawtooth edge and a myriad of striking patterns. Even the base is carved and cut to perfection with patterns almost microscopic (last photo)
There are scratches to the inside of the bowl but my fingers feel and find really no other imperfections.
This was over $2000 at auction in 2002, I believe — A rare and striking piece for a collector
