Part of $2.8 Million McLean Mansion Luxury Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

This impressive collection of American Brilliant Period cut crystal bowls showcases the hallmark craftsmanship of the golden age of American glassmaking, circa 1876–1917. The lot includes multiple graduated sizes — large presentation bowls, medium serving bowls, and smaller individual bowls — all displaying the characteristic deeply mitered, hand-cut patterns typical of the era. Motifs include elaborately rendered hobstar medallions, pinwheel and fan designs, interlocking crosshatch fields, strawberry diamond panels, and sawtooth scalloped rims, all executed with precision that produces brilliant light refraction. The heavy lead crystal construction contributes to the pieces' signature clarity and weight. This collection represents a cohesive table service of considerable decorative and collecting significance.
