Presenting an exceedingly well conditioned HARVARD ABP Brilliant Cut Glass (14 7/8" long X 8 1/4" wide X 1 1/2" tall) ICE CREAM TRAY PLATTER for your bidding consideration.
This exquisite American Brilliant Period cut glass serving tray features the intricate and dazzling Russian pattern. The Russian pattern is unsurpassed in brilliance and remains one of the most popular patterns among collectors of American Brilliant Period cut glass. The copious geometric cuttings catch the sunlight in a most dazzling manner!!
The weight is substantial at 3 pounds, 11 ounces.
I am happy to report that this beautiful tray remains in excellent condition.
After extremely thorough inspection, I have shown the only minute flaws in the last (2) detail images.. You note that in the final image there is a single 1/4" sized circular chip to the side of (1) facet.. It took me awhile to even find this!!
Otherwise, the flat cut base bottom has a few small flakes that measure from dust sized to a few millimeters in size..
This large rectangular server has no tooth rim chips, no scratching to speak of the the flat interior serving basin and the condition is wonderful overall indeed!!
Please see the final (4) detail images which show the worst of this, which are all magnified 5X.
These tiny flaws all but disappear due to the refracting light, when in hand..
Otherwise, there are no flaws, dings, scratching, hazing discolorations or other damages that we could observe.
With no chips, cracks, cloudiness, gross nicks or wear to the finely detailed exterior cuttings or other flaws present, the condition remains excellent indeed!! About as well conditioned as you could hope for really, to be about 120 years old!!
These rare pieces are only some of many pieces that we are still selling that were collected by an old time member of the American Cut Glass Association (ACGA), a member whose association with this group goes all the way back to it's very founding year of 1978.
Let a founding ACGA member select your quality for you!
