Cut glass, particularly crystal, has a long history dating back to the 17th century in England, evolving significantly through the 18th and 19th centuries. Bohemian glassmakers were also renowned for their intricate cutting techniques, often producing richly decorated pieces. These decorative glass items were popular for both functional use and as display pieces in affluent homes.

This particular style of cut glass, with its starburst or fan motifs, was widely produced during the late Victorian era and into the early to mid-20th century. Such pieces were often used for perfumes, liqueurs, or as decorative elements on dressing tables and sideboards. The quality of the cut and the clarity of the glass are key indicators of its value and historical period. See less
