This is a wonderful ANTIQUE VICTORIAN CUT GLASS AMERICAN BRILLIANT (circa 1900) PUNCH BOWL ON A STAND OR PEDESTAL WITH WONDERFUL DEEP CUTS AS ONLY THE AMERICANS COULD DO IN THIS PERIOD. The bowl and stand weigh 11 pounds 6 ounces by themselves.

The bowl and stand are 11" high with a diameter at the largest part being around 10". The bowl is 6 1/2" tall by itself and the opening is 8 1/4". The mold is around 3/8 thick at the top. The base is 5" tall and has a diameter of 8 1/4" at the bottom making it very stable.

The edges are beautifully scalloped with sawtooth edges. The base of the bowl fits perfectly into the opening of the base. The blanks of the bowl and base are crystal clear glass and the deep cuts of hobstars and fans are gorgeous. I tried to take photos of the deep hand polished cuts. Just imagine someone sitting at a wheel cutting each of these wonderful cuts and then hand polishing them.

The bowl is in excellent condition. All of the sawtooth edge is present and appears to be perfect, I see no scratches in the bottom, there are no cracks or repairs or chips, there are only a few minor fleabite chips on the sawtooth edge of the bottom of the stand and they are on the very bottom so you cannot see them. I use my punch bowl as a salad bowl (fruit salad is gorgeous in it) and at Christmas I put Christmas balls in for a lovely decoration or centerpiece. Ribbons in it add to this glamorous display. A cluster of poinsettias is magnificent and could use as a flower display at special occasions.

Americans were clamoring for English crystal at first which has a grayish green tint to it. When the Americans started making cut glass with all their best natural resources that the USA had to offer, the standard quickly changed. American cut glass was much more brilliant and clear and hard. It was perfect for cutting.
