Description

Bowl and stand. Cut glass. The bowl is oval with deep sloping sides and cusped rim. The base is cut with eight pointed leaves radiating from the centre and with intersecting lines forming a series of triangles round the central motif. The sides are cut with an all-over pattern of curved lines forming pointed leaves with diamond-shaped spaces between them. About half way up the sides there is a series of elliptical motifs, placed horizontally within the diamond-shaped spaces. The stand is oval with a wide, concave curved rim and a deep well to take the bowl. The base is cut with an eight-pointed star, the rim en suite with the bowl.
