Cut leaded crystal has three distinguishing characteristics: a bell-like ring when gently tapped with the finger, clarity and brilliance unmatched by pressed or molded imitations, and weight noticeably greater than the same sized piece made of unleaded glass.
The cutting is brilliant because it is sharp and deep, reflecting light from highly polished surfaces. It is deep because it was made from a leaded crystal that was beautiful in its clarity even though thick enough to be cut in high relief. Imaginative designers improved upon traditional motifs, arranging them in varying ways to provide for optimum reflective surfaces.
American Brilliant Period cut glass was the end product of talented, resourceful craftsmen who capitalized on new glass technology, using new cutting methods made possible with electric powered cutting tools - all at a time when beautiful handmade articles were more appreciated than their machine-made counterparts.
