Lot 110: A Trio of Cut Glass Crystal Tableware Including a Pitcher and Two Decanters
A trio of heavy cut glass crystal tableware pieces. The collection comprises a large water pitcher, a globe-and-shaft decanter, and a smaller cruet bottle. The pitcher features a notched handle and vertical fluted cutting to the neck, with the body decorated in a field of deep diamond and thumbprint cutting above a star-cut base. The larger decanter has horizontal faceted rings to the neck and a diamond-cut body; it is fitted with a flat-topped circular stopper featuring a radial sunburst pattern. The smaller cruet or decanter is decorated with a matching diamond-cut motif and features a faceted diamond-shaped stopper. The sharpness of the facets and the clarity of the material suggest high-lead-content crystal in the style of mid-20th-century British or Irish manufacture. Orange lot or price stickers are present on the bodies, with one numbered 110. No etched signatures or maker marks were identified during inspection.
Condition report:
The crystal appears clear with no visible signs of internal clouding or glass sickness. The pieces are in good overall condition without significant chips or cracks visible to the bodies. Minor fleabites consistent with age and use may be present to the sharp edges of the cut decoration or the stopper pegs.
