This pattern is photographed and described on pages
42 and 43 of "American Brilliant Cut Glass" by Bill and Louise Boggess. In
that book the authors say that "Russian is the most intricately cut and possibly
the best known of all patterns. Phillip McDonald, who designed it, assigned
the patent to Hawkes on June 20, 1882." This piece has a broad shallow
bowl supported by a wide based pedestal. It has very sharp cutting into a
heavy crystal form. It has a great shape in one of the most popular
patterns!
Circa: 1890
Dimensions: 4.5"H x 10"Diameter
Finish: Excellent cutting with no major flaws. VERY minor nicks on the base
(very typical)
Price: $1650.00 |
