In EXCELLENT condition, no flaws! American Brilliant Period (ABP) cut glass is fine quality, hand-cut crystal produced between 1880 and 1925. lt's exceptional "brilliance" results from the high lead content of the glass, up to 50% versus 24% for modern crystal, which gives it a high refractive index. ABP pieces behave like prisms scattering light into the different colors of the rainbow. Artisans pressed "blank" or uncut pieces of glass against a series of spinning wheels to cut the desired pattern into the surface of the glass and finished, polished the design restoring it's original clarity and sparkle. Early in the ABP the patterns were 100% hand cut! measurements provided in photos.
