American Brilliant Period Cut Glass glove box silver lid, 6 Crystal Knife Rest

American Brilliant Cut Glass (ABCG) refers to a period of exceptionally ornate and high-quality cut glass produced in the United States, primarily between 1876 and 1917. This era saw American glass manufacturers excel in intricate cutting techniques, often featuring deep, sharp patterns like stars, fans, hobstars, and strawberry diamonds. These pieces were highly prized for their brilliance and craftsmanship, becoming status symbols in affluent households.

This particular item appears to be a glove box, a decorative container often used to store delicate items like gloves or jewelry, common during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The detailed cutting on both the box and the tongs suggests a high level of artistry and skill from the period. Comes with 6 Crystal Knife rest. Please see all pictures as they are part of the description.
