Up for sale is a stunning, vintage European lead crystal rose bowl vase featuring the timeless, traditional Pinwheel pattern. This exquisite, heavy-weight piece is crafted from genuine high-quality lead crystal (approximately 24% PbO), which gives it exceptional clarity and a remarkable brilliance that beautifully separates light into vibrant rainbow reflections. The bowl is unbranded/unmarked, which is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century Bohemian and Polish crystal exports that originally utilized paper foil labels rather than permanent acid etchings.
This sphere-shaped vase features exceptional hand-wheel craftsmanship, showcasing deep geometric miter V-cuts, intricate hobstar centers, cross-hatched diamond prisms, and a beautifully scalloped incurved rim designed to elegantly hold short-stemmed floral arrangements. The base is finished with a stunning, deeply carved multi-point starburst cut, encircled by a heavily polished flat ground rim for maximum stability. Weighing a substantial 1 pound, 2.6 ounces unpackaged and measuring approximately 4 inches in height with a 3-inch internal top opening diameter, this vintage piece is in excellent, pristine condition with no chips, cracks, or cloudiness. It makes a magnificent addition to any cut-glass collection, a striking dining centerpiece, or an elegant catchall dish.
