Antique American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Creamer | Hand-Cut Crystal with Deep Hobstar & Oval Motif (c. 1876–1917)
This exquisite heavy crystal creamer is an authentic example of American Brilliant Period (ABP) cut glass, dating from circa 1876–1917. Crafted from fine lead crystal, it features a deep hand-cut pattern with oval thumbprints, radiant fluting, and a polished base. The clarity, brilliance, and sharpness of the cuts are hallmarks of true ABP craftsmanship.
The creamer’s substantial weight and bell-like ring when tapped further distinguish it from later pressed glass imitations. Whether displayed in a cabinet or used as part of a collection, this piece embodies the elegance and artistry of the ABP era.
