A substantial vintage hand-cut lead crystal fruit or centerpiece bowl, distinguished by its impressive weight, brilliant clarity, and deeply worked geometric decoration.

The rounded body features intersecting diamond cuts arranged in alternating bands, with dramatic V-shaped facets around the lower portion. A finely cut multi-point starburst decorates the base, while a subtly scalloped rim completes the traditional design. The deep cutting catches and refracts light beautifully, giving the bowl exceptional sparkle from every angle.

This pattern has been found on vintage English-market crystal from the mid-20th century, suggesting possible English manufacture. However, the bowl is unmarked, and its precise maker and country of origin remain undocumented. Residue from a partially removed, illegible original label remains on the bowl.

At more than two kilograms, this is an unusually heavy and substantial example—well suited as a fruit bowl, dining-table centerpiece, floral vessel, or decorative display piece.
