Lot 107: A Collection of Cut Lead Crystal Vases
A collection of cut lead crystal glassware comprising four vases of varying forms and sizes. The group includes a large ovoid vase featuring a flared rim decorated with thumbprint facets, above a body cut with vertical wedge and star motifs. A second large vase is of trumpet form with a deeply cut cross-hatch and diamond pattern, supported by a thick faceted stem and a wide circular foot with radial star cutting to the underside. The collection also includes two smaller bud vases: one featuring a flared rim and star-cut base, and another trumpet-shaped example with a square pedestal foot. All pieces are constructed from heavy, high-clarity lead crystal with deep wheel-cut decoration. No maker’s marks, signatures, or acid-etched stamps are visible on any of the items; however, one piece retains a small, square silver-tone adhesive label near the rim, though the text on this label is not legible.
Condition report:
The glassware appears to be in good overall condition with high clarity. No significant chips, cracks, or large abrasions are visible in the provided image. The cutting remains sharp. As is typical with cut crystal of this type, minor flea bites may be present to the sharpest edges of the cutting and the undersides of the feet, though none are prominent in the photograph. There is no evidence of internal clouding or \"sick glass.\"
