This … Read more A Mikasa Times Square (MICTIS) lead crystal centerpiece bowl from the Times Square Collection, produced in Japan circa 2001–2004. This substantial flared bowl features a bold architectural design composed of deeply molded rectangular block cuts, vertical ribbing, and a wide flared silhouette inspired by contemporary urban architecture. The dramatic geometric pattern and exceptional clarity exemplify Mikasa's premium crystal production during the early 2000s.

Authentication is supported by the Mikasa signature and the documented Times Square (MICTIS) pattern. The bowl exhibits the defining characteristics of the collection, including heavy lead crystal construction, deep geometric block-cut decoration, a vertical rib-cut rim border, a thick polished base, precision molded construction, and brilliant optical clarity. The architectural grid motif combined with the flared profile distinguishes the Times Square collection from Mikasa's more traditional crystal patterns.

Produced for only a brief period between 2001 and 2004, the Times Square collection has a comparatively limited production history. The large centerpiece bowl is among the more desirable forms in the series and remains sought after by collectors of discontinued Mikasa crystal and contemporary decorative glass.
