Lot 102: Two Pieces of Cut Lead Crystal Hollowware
This lot comprises two pieces of heavy-gauge cut lead crystal hollowware, featuring a deep bowl with vertical sides and a larger, shallower flared bowl. Both items are decorated with geometric hand-cutting. The primary decorative scheme consists of repeating lozenge-shaped panels containing fine strawberry diamond cross-hatching, framed by deep mitre cuts. These panels are interspersed with elongated vertical wedge cuts. The larger bowl features a radial starburst cut to the centre of the base. The glass exhibits high clarity and light dispersion consistent with lead crystal content. An orange adhesive price sticker is present on the interior base of the larger bowl reading 102, and a white rectangular adhesive sticker is placed next to it reading 12 12. No maker’s marks, signatures, or etched manufacturer names are visible on either piece.
Condition report:
The crystal is in good overall condition with high clarity and no visible clouding. The larger bowl exhibits numerous fine surface scratches and abrasions to the interior base (photo 1), consistent with regular use. The rims of both pieces appear largely intact, though a small possible fleabite is visible on the inner edge of the larger bowl (photo 1). No major chips or cracks are evident from the provided images.
