DescriptionBlown and cut colorless lead glass bowl with a scalloped edge and sides that curve down to a flat botton. There are three major concentric bands of cut geometric decoration surrounding a sixteen-ray star or sunburst cut into the bottom of the bowl. This is surrounded by a band of short parallel lines, each pointing toward the star/sunburst. This is surrounded by a band of decoration which alternates between a square panel with a raised diamond diaper pattern and a square panel with a sunburst inside. This is surrounded by a band of short parallel lines that are interrupted by the scalloped edge at the rim. Each band is separated by a smooth, cut band of glass. There are several very small nicks and chips in the rim, and two larger chips.
