This era got its name due to the luster, shine, and brilliance of the crystal. At this time in history, this type of crystal was considered the best crystal in the world and to this day some people still strongly believe it to be. Glass blowers would hand blow crystal glass blanks. American Brilliant Cut Glass is all hand made.
It is a unique piece of American History. This chalice is only a " DISPLAY" piece.
It has a major crack, but still looks beautiful. This piece in particular is over 14 inches tall.
It weighs a whopping 13 pounds (its heavy). Experts have yet to find the glass cutting house behind this pattern but this pattern and cutting is considered one of the finest on any American Brilliant Chalice. It is over 100 years old. I attempted to capture its brilliance but I couldn't with the camera. If you are new to american brilliant cut glass, I recommend you watch a youtube video or 2 and you will be mesmerize by the its glamour/sparkle.Feel free to message me with any questions.
