Thank you for visiting. This is Clean Glass Depot The Home for Magnificent Cut Glass We also restore "Sick Glass" -Fast New Method that Works!! Thank you for vis iting this listing. WITH GREAT PLEASURE WE ARE OFFERING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: A RARITY!! ALTHOUGH THE AMERICAN BRILLIANT PERIOD ONLY LAST FOR APPROXIMATELY FORTY YEARS (1870-1916): DURING THAT TIME CERTAIN CUTTING HOUSES AND CERTAIN CUTTERS EARNED FAME THAT WILL LAST HOPEFULLY FOR CENTURIES. WHETHER THEY ARE YOUR FAVORITE CUTTERS OR OTHERS RANK HIGHER IN YOUR REGARD, LIBBEY, HAWKES, HOARE, FRY, PAIRPOINT ARE THOSE THAT USUALLY COME TO THE MIND. THE CUTTING HOUSES NAMED ABOVE ARE AMONG THE MOST FAMOUS AND MOST WIDELY KNOWN. MOST PERSONS HAVE HEARD OF LIBBEY CUT GLASS AND THEIR MOST FAMOUS DESIGNER / CUTTER WILLIAM C. ANDERSON. WILLIAM C. ANDERSON DESIGNED AND PATENTED "GLORIETTA". HE LATER LEFT LIBBEY AND FORMED HIS OWN COMPANY, THE AMERICAN CUT GLASS COMPANY. AND SO IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO LIST A 3 POUND, APPROXIMATELY 9" X 9" SQUARE DISH CUT IN THAT PATTERN. THE SIZE HEREIN QUOTED IS PER LIBBEY'S RED CATALOG, PAGE 129 IN WHICH THE DISH PHOTO IS SHOWN. THE ACTUAL PIECE MEASUREMENTS ARE ABOUT 8.75 X 8.75. THE HEIGHT AT A SLOPE RISES TO APPROXIMATELY 3 I NCHES. THIS PATTERN IS EXQUISITE. THAT IS EASILY UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE WCA ONLY PRODUCED EXQUISITE PATTERNS. THEY ARE EACH AS PERFECT AS ONE COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. HE IS REFERRED TO BY MANY AS THE FINEST DESIGNER OF THE PERIOD. PLEASE REVEIW THE PHOTGRAPHS. WE TOOK THE NECESSARY TIME TO PHOTO ALL THE IMPORTANT AREAS TO BE NOTED. WE WERE FORTUNATE IN EVEN "CATCHING THE CORRECT LIGHT" TO PHOTOGRAPH THE SIGNATURE - "LIBBEY WITH A SWORD". THE DESIGN IS QUADRATIC. FERN ENHANCED MITERS SEPARATE THE DISH, ALMOST LIKE A BOWL, INTO FOUR SEGMENTS. EACH CONTAINS A VESICA WITH FERNING AND A HOBSTAR WITH AN ELONGATED POINT. IN THE AREAS OUTSIDE THE VESICAS HOBSTARS HAVE ALSO BEEN CUT, WITH ELONGATED POINTS - ONE EACH ON EACH SIDE. THE SAWTOOTH EDGING IS SCULPTED. THE SCALLOPS ARE POINTED ABOVE THE VESICAS AND ROUNDED ABOVE THE HOBSTARS. THE CRAFTING INCLUDING ITS NECESSARY COMPONENTS OF RESONANCE, REFRACTION, REFLECTION, SYMMETRY, BALANCE, AND RESULTING RADIANCE AND BRILLIANCE HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH EXCELLENCE. THE MOUTH BLOWN BLANK IS WATER WHITE AND CLEAR. THE BLANK IS ONE OF THE FINEST PRODUCED DURING THE PERIOD. SIMPLY STATED, YOU WILL FIND OTHER DESIGNS ATTRACTIVE, BUT NOT MANY MORE, THAT ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CONDITION: THE EDGING HAS SOME ROUGHNESS. THERE ARE SCATTERED FLEA BITES AND SOME OF THE TEETH HAVE NICKS. THE DISPLAY IS NOT IMPAIRED. ONE'S EYE IS SET ON THE DESIGN. A PROFESSIONAL CAN RESTORE THIS EDGING. WITH RELATIVE EASE. THE DESIGN ALLOWS THE NECESSARY ROOM. PLEASE MAKE CERAIN THAT YOU STUDY THE PHOTO0S. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
