In excellent condition, no chips, cracks or damage. One of the most enchanting patterns found in glass crystal is the 'Starburst'. This design, as the name suggests, radiates outward like a burst of stars, creating a mesmerizing play of light and reflection. Above are rays. The meticulous craftsmanship, on the bottom, required to achieve the intricate Starburst pattern adds an element of sophistication to the crystal, making it a coveted choice among collectors. Each facet captures and reflects light, enhancing the overall brilliance of the piece As with all glass containing lead oxide, the addition of lead oxide raises the glass's refractive index, a measurement of how fast light passes through something. This means that lead glass has a more reflective appearance than traditional glass. Leaded glass also stays malleable for longer periods of time when heated, making it easier for artisans to work with. This vase appears to be pressed glass. Pressed glass or molded glass, is made by pressing molten glass into a mold either by hand or by machine. Examples of machine-pressed glass would include most Depression glass patterns along with other types of glassware, and many times mold lines are quite visibly present on these lower quality yet perfectly collectible pieces. Not the case with this wonderful vase however. Precision in patterns, clarity, weight, sound, and tactile assurance. In the realm of glass crystal, these characteristics collectively contribute to the authenticity and desirability of each piece. These subtle yet distinctive feature becomes a tangible factor for enthusiasts seeking authenticity. When held, cut glass crystal conveys a sense of substance that adds to its overall allure, making it not just a visual delight but a tactile experience. Vintage items are seldom perfect. Small scratches, scuffs, nicks, and dents are not only expected but considered desirable as a testament to age. None of which apply here. While many items may be viewed subjectively as being in very good or excellent condition, guaranteed here only that the condition is very good, with age-appropriate wear. It would be best if buyer be pleasantly surprised than rudely awakened. This vase is perfect for displaying your favorite flowers or as a stand alone decorative piece. Would also make a great gift. Photo props are not included.
