Victorian Cut-Glass Oval Fruit Bowl, Circa 1880
5868
A substantial and beautifully made 19th-century oval cut-glass fruit bowl, dating to circa 1880. Generously weighted and richly decorated, it is an impressive example of Victorian table glass, designed to bring sparkle and occasion to the dining table.
The broad oval form is deeply cut with a combination of faceted, geometric, and star-like ornament, allowing the glass to catch and refract the light from every angle. Its thick walls, crisp cutting, and satisfying weight speak to the quality and durability of the piece, while the gently flared rim gives it an elegant, open profile.
Originally intended for presenting fruit or sweetmeats, the bowl remains wonderfully versatile. It would make an eye-catching centrepiece on a dining or console table, a stylish serving bowl for entertaining, or a decorative object when displayed empty to show off its intricate cutting.
A handsome and practical piece of Victorian cut glass, with the scale, brilliance, and craftsmanship to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
