Large Boat or Canoe Shaped Cut Lead Glass Pedestal Bowl - Cushion Knop stem - Diamond Base Georgian style circa 1890 | 34 cm L 18 cm W 22 cm H 2.9 Kg

A beautiful quality antique boat or canoe shaped, pedestal fruit bowl or comport. The bowl is made of lead glass on a star cut diamond shaped base, some collectors may refer to this as a square shaped base. The deeply dished bowl of the body is oval in section. The main body of the bowl has been beautifully hand cut with large deep diamonds and the lower section with facet or panel cuts. The rim, which is saw cut or serrated edged, has a band of fine cut diamonds above a continuous deep band or line cut. The stem has a large central blade or cushion knop below which it is flared and panel cut. The stem sits on a round stepped foot on a diamond or rhombus shaped foot which has been cut and polished.

This boat shaped bowl dates to the late 19th century, around 1890, it is we believe emulating similar shaped items from the reign of George III in the Georgian period circa 1800. This relatively unusual shaped antique fruit bowl or salad bowl is made of hand blown lead crystal glass with a greyish - yellow tinge, possibly from iron in the metal mix. It is possibly Irish in origin.

A very attractive and outstanding quality fruit dish, in very good antique condition with some inevitable very minor marks and chipping (nibbling) to the rim. There is one larger chip to the rim as shown in the images however, these are not very obvious. The base has a large chip to one corner and another smaller one to the opposite corner , no cracks nor restoration. The body has the usual bubbles and other minor inclusions, pucella and tool marks within the metal and wear to the base commensurate with age and use.

Some collectors may refer to this item as a centre bowl or pedestal bowl or perhaps a bowl or Compote to our American customers.

This antique lead crystal comport is a highly decorative and very useful piece of Georgian style glassware for the table or sideboard.
