• Antique American Brilliant Period (ABP) Cut Glass c. 1911
• Measurements: 8" base diameter, 5 1/4" lid diameter and 6 1/8" high
• Weight, prepackaged: 3 lbs 6.6 oz
• Condition: The lid has a thin 1/8" chip on the underside (doesn't effect the outer or inner edge) and a flat, shallow 1/8" chip on the outside going up, both are easy to overlook, the second is hard to find. The balance of the lid and the base are free of chips and cracks and fleabites including the exterior cuts and base rim. There are no notable marks or scratches from use and storage. The base and underside of the lid have light shelf wear as expected. The cuts are well planned and expertly executed. The glass is crystal clear with amazing clarity, superb resonance and a slight green glow under UV light. There are no notable flaws or bubbles in the glass. It's a heavy blank, well cut and a wonderful cut.
