Product Description
This antique American Brilliant cut crystal oval bowl is a striking example of late 19th to early 20th century American glass craftsmanship, celebrated for its depth of cut, exceptional clarity, and refined elegance. Measuring 21cm x 14cm, the bowl features deeply faceted brilliant-cut panels that capture and reflect light beautifully, making it a timeless statement piece for any interior. Crafted in fine lead crystal, this style of glass was produced during America’s golden age of glassmaking and remains highly sought after by collectors for its brilliance, weight, and precision.
Once used for elegant table settings and formal entertaining, it now stands as a decorative object of enduring beauty and refinement. The bowl has two tiny nicks to the sharp points of the rim (see images), consistent with age and careful use.

If This Piece Could Talk –It would remember candlelit tables and formal dinners, where cut crystal was chosen not only for function but for the way it caught the light. It would speak of careful hands, polished silver, and occasions where presentation mattered as much as what was served. Over time, it has softened into a piece admired as much for its history as for its enduring beauty.
How It Can Be Used Today –This bowl is ideal for serving fruit, sweets, or pastries, or as a decorative centrepiece that reflects light beautifully on a dining or console table.
