Antique American Cut Glass Vase, Spherical Design, Floral Motifs, 1900

Elegant antique spherical vase made of clear American glass with refined cut and frosted decoration. Its rounded body features a circular opening at the top and a flat base, allowing it to stand directly on a table, console, or display cabinet.

The surface is embellished with a balanced composition of geometric motifs, stars, fans, panels, and floral elements arranged around the entire form. The contrast between the transparent polished glass and the satin-like decorative details creates depth and a delicate play of light.

This type of vessel, often referred to as a rose bowl or posy bowl, was intended to display short-stemmed flowers or low floral arrangements. Its compact, globular silhouette also allowed it to function as a decorative object even when not in use. The piece evokes the sophistication of late Victorian American glass and the American Brilliant Period, when finely decorated glass objects became important elements of formal tables and elegant interiors.

Condition: Good, wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 7 in H x 6 in W x 6 in D.
