During the Brilliant Period nearly 1,000 glass cutting shops were established, by 1908 less than 100 remained. A number of leading companies continued to maintain their high standards throughout the waning years, and thereby attracted the finest designers and most skilled craftsmen, who from 1908 to 1915 produced some of the most elegant patterns of cut glass ever created. One author has aptly referred to this as the "Era of Super Glass." The outbreak of World War I dealt the final blow to the fascinatingly brief birth, growth and decline of a uniquely American achievement. Size: 7" X 14" Exquisite appearance and unique and fascinating tone, when tapped with finger.  The piece has some small chips which are difficult to detect because of the extreme intricacy of the cut and design.  It's a one-of-a-kind bowl, been in the family for many generations.
