Another Great Auction
This assortment of lead crystal glassware and accessories consists of a heavy-gauge decanter, two trumpet vases, and a tiered display stand. The decanter is of waisted form with deep diamond-cut patterns to the lower section and vertical fluted cuts to the shoulder, fitted with a multi-faceted globular stopper and a decorative gold-toned cord with crystalline tassels. The collection includes a large trumpet vase featuring an intricate pattern of deep diamond and wedge cuts with star-shaped motifs, and a smaller trumpet vase with a repeating geometric diamond-cut pattern set on a circular star-cut foot. The accompanying two-tiered display stand is constructed from a stained hardwood, possibly mahogany, with turned spindle supports. These items are characteristic of 20th-century high-quality lead crystal, resembling the style and traditional patterns of glasshouses such as Bohemia or Waterford. No manufacturer acid-etched marks are visible; however, a small white adhesive label with the handwritten number 4854 is present on the decanter body.
