Lot 145:
Pressed Lead Crystal Three-Footed Bowl with Frosted Butterfly Rim
Description
A decorative pressed lead crystal bowl featuring a scalloped rim ornamented with several integrated frosted butterfly motifs. The lower portion of the bowl is decorated with a repeating diamond-point geometric pattern. The vessel stands on three small, rounded, integral glass feet. The butterfly motifs exhibit a satin-finish frosting, likely achieved through acid-etching, which provides a textural and visual contrast to the clarity of the polished glass. A small yellow rectangular adhesive label is affixed to the interior edge of the rim, but the text on it is not legible. No other maker marks, signatures, or stamps are visible on the body or base of the piece.
Condition report:
The bowl appears to be in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches visible in the photograph. The frosted butterfly decorations appear uniform without evidence of wear or staining.
