Lot 56:
American Brilliant Period Cut Crystal Lamp Base or Shade
Description
A heavy, single cylindrical object fashioned from clear, colorless cut crystal or brilliant pressed glass, likely intended as a Crystal lamp base or shade. This piece exhibits characteristics consistent with the American Brilliant Period (ABP) style, characterized by heavy weight and intricate faceting. The body features extensive cutting, defined by undulating vertical bands that alternate with stylized fern or fan-shaped relief cuts, sometimes referred to in market listings as “feather” or “pinwheel” variations. The base is wider and flares outward, decorated with horizontal fluting and ribs. The object bears a white adhesive sticker affixed to the base reading “9209.”. Market comparables suggest such forms were often originally pitchers or vases converted for use as table lamps.
