I came across this 8" oval bowl that's brighter and clearer with deeper cut's than anything I've ever seen.In direct light you can't get a true picture of it and it makes the pieces of Waterford and riedel look dull next to it.After researching this I found what I think is the pattern that's called Harvard.Several companies cut this pattern and the very best blanks were made at the time in America.They were clearer and brighter and a much higher quality.Do to the cost some companies imported there blanks from Europe that were made by Val St Lambert and baccarat.
Really some nice beautiful craftsmanship I see from your photos !~
Thanks Phil.I have several American brilliant pieces and none have anywhere near the workmanship that went in to this.I'm going to keep tracking this down until I find out who made it.
Thanks Nutsabotas6.It's funny how you just get lucky running in to certain things and I'm thankful I ran in to this.
I have a bowl cut like that handed down in my family. It is 8" X 4" high with 6 large scallops on the edge and the pattern is all over. I am wondering if it is the same. I think it is Harvard/Cane because of the parallel double crossed lines that form the squares/diamonds that the stars and strawberry/fine diamond shapes are cut in. Can I ask if you have found the company yours came from? Or at least know the region where it originated?
