Description
From my personal collection is this extremely unusual plate in Amethyst to clear. The design is an unknown, but it lays out extremely similarly to American Cut Glass's Star Rosetta design patent as shown in the Revi's book. I attribute to the master designer, William C. Anderson due to the similarity to Star Rosetta and additional design elements he was known to use.The skill involved in making this plate is staggering - please look closely at the 4th photo - the clear button center of the hobstars come to a sharp point, but still maintain the amethyst layer of glass - a master made this plate. There are other obvious calls to the stylings of William Anderson. I've never seen this parallel line cutting at the rim, but to achieve that and keep the color is another feat entirely.This piece does blacklight to show American Brilliant Period, which is an important test for not only authenticity, but country of origin.2579
Condition
