This validates its provenance as an American Brilliant Period cut glass item. The luminescence is a result of adding manganese to the molten glass mixture to decolorize the iron in the sand. It validates the Period because the 40 year Period between 1870 and 1916 was the only time in the course of the history of the world that manganese was employed.

Brilliant Period cut glass as a result of the combined hardening and radiance producing lead oxide with the added manganese was named the finest cut glass in the world. This occurred during the Paris Exposition of 1889. Among the participants, Thomas G.

It has been established, in addition, that Hawkes, when in need, acquired blanks from Fry. Great credentials for this punch bowl.

Layouts and Motifs:This is a trifoliate hobstar dominant pattern. It is also one in which the major layout scheme is that of overlapping and intersecting pointed ovals. Both the hobstars and alternating strawberry diamond X crossed miter vesicas are arranged so that. They are included in the intersecting ovals, and pyramidal stars developed in this punch bowl pattern of ARGO. In the punch bowl center, there is a crosshatched hexagonal 32 point hobstar whose center star ray is crafted. Use of the hexagon is in lieu of the trifoliate nature of the design. The alternating motif is that of strawberry diamond X cross miter vesicas. Xcrossed miters are an important basic design concept.

Please note their use via the photographs. Also please note the catalog reference pattern id number from the previous owner still remains. Will leave the cleaning of this monumental bowl to its new owner.

The tooth profile is full and is in tremendously well taken care of condition, amazing with fancy scalloped rim design, difficult to execute and adds a pretty touch to the large piece. The large hobstar that centers this lovely bowl is deeply cut, please use a dolly, this star is has so many cuts. It is like a diamond. And it scratched my table a bit. As I turned it for the tooth profile photos, it is recommended to use some type of protective covering on fine wood since the bowl. Weight is rather heavy with sharp deep cuts on the massive hobstar. The photographs serve to provide all pattern details and to validate all herein written. Questions are welcome and I have many photographs upon request if needed.

Examination of the punch bowl was in display mode. We saw no flaws in that examination. Under magnification, (and I use a jeweler 7X magnifiers) there are few tiny flea bites seen only when examining in this fashion, I lose them when I remove the magnifiers.

The above stated in order to provide complete accuracy. This will be packed with extreme care, double heavy corrugated box, possibly tripled. The weight and size is what it is and will increase upon extra secure packing. The heavy duty box weighs about 2.5 pounds each in themselves.

Please also have a look at the matching vases in Argo from the same estate collector/original owner. Wow a matching pair of 14.5 in listed shortly in my store. I found no detractions in display under normal viewing conditions. Perhaps magnification, mentioned for the sake of accuracy and full disclosure, would yield a tiny imperfection, however in viewing it, we saw none. No major chips, no cracks, nor discoloration, and no repairs. The tooth profile is full. The quality by the esteemed cutting house, maker is assured via reputation with all requirements for excellence well met. Is in very good to excellent condition for a 100 year old piece it was well cared for.
