Brilliant Period ABP cut lead crystal 5” Decor Bowl Nappie style

American Brilliant Period lead cut crystal decor bowl can use anywhere for anything as it sparkles with brilliance of Hobstar and Diamond cuts with saw-tooth scalloped edge. In glassware, ABP means the American Brilliant period, which lasted from 1876 to 1916. During the time, many American artisans produced carefully hand-cut glass and crystal decorative objects. The cutting is brilliant because it is sharp and deep, reflecting light from highly polished surfaces. It is deep because it was made from a leaded crystal that was beautiful in its clarity even though thick enough to be cut in high relief.
