About Antique Cut Glass

While cut glass (glass decorated with facets) has been produced for thousands of years, and in the U.S. since the 1700s, it reached a peak of popularity around 1900 during the so-called 'Brilliant' period. Billiant period cut glass, a popular wedding gift at the time, was heavy leaded glass intricately cut with geometric patterns and prisms.
