SALE PENDING American Brilliant Period Crystal Cut Glass Low Bowl or Nappy by Pitkin & Brooks in Crete Pattern

Glass : Antique : American Brilliant Period Cut Glass : Pitkins & Brooks

 

We are quite pleased to be able to offer this stunning low bowl from the American Brilliant Period of Cut Glass (1875 - 1915). This lovely piece is identified in Ever's Standard Cut Glass Guide, page 115, as being made by Pitkins & Brooks in their "Crete" Pattern. This is definitely a piece from the earlier part of the American Brilliant Period since the clarity of the glass is excellent, as are the precise cuttings. This piece has obviously been kept in someone's china cabinet for many years, as we have only been able to locate 2 little rough spots and no other damage of any kind. We have black light tested it and it glows the desirable yellow greenish color under the light and reveals absolutely no other kind of damage whatsoever. It has a very lovely ring when lightly tapped and when the light hits it, you'll be mesmerized by all the colors & refractions of light.

This stunning low bowl measures 5" in diameter and 1-1/2" in height.
