Status: Sold

An Italian hand-cut lead-crystal centerpiece bowl on an ornate gilt-toned metal stand, presented with the original “Creart Italy Crystal 24% Lead Hand Cut” label and a separate “Made in Italy” foil label. The broad, open bowl is cut in a traditional starburst-and-diamond pattern, with radiating fans and cross-hatched fields that catch and refract light across the clear crystal body. The rim is fitted with a pierced, foliate gallery in gilt metal, giving the piece the look of a mounted compote or tazza in the Continental taste. The support is formed as scrolling acanthus work, centered by a faceted crystal sphere held in a blossom-form collar, and raised over a domed lower crystal section decorated with small etched quatrefoil-style motifs. The base terminates in a gilt-edged foot with applied scrolled feet, suited for use as a console centerpiece, fruit or sweetmeat service, or decorative bowl. Size: 10 x 10 x 12"
