Antique Round Crystal Centerpiece Cut With Diamond Point And Fan Motifs

Round crystal centerpiece; the bowl's body is entirely wheel-cut with diamond points, while the rim features a finely crafted fan motif. The object was most likely made in Bohemia at the beginning of the 20th century; its style suggests a destination for the Anglo-Saxon market, particularly the United States, where such pieces are often associated with the "American Brilliant Period."

Some of the fan points along the edge show very slight nicks, almost imperceptible to the naked eye. These might be due to usage or even the technical challenge of cutting, implying that they could be original.

American Brilliant Period:
this term refers to a period of crystal production in the United States spanning approximately from 1876 to 1917. Objects from this era are distinguished by extremely precise and complex cutting that enhances the transparency and refraction of the crystal. Although many pieces were made in America, some originated in Europe, especially Bohemia, and were marketed as luxury items across the Atlantic.
