American Brilliant cut glass pattern identification
In American Brilliant cut glass pattern identification, stars, hobstars, fans and intersecting cuts are design elements rather than unique maker marks.
Cut pattern and blank
Stars, hobstars, fans and intersecting cuts are design elements rather than unique maker marks. Several companies used related motifs. An acid-etched name on the base can identify a maker even when the decoration overlaps another firm’s designs.
What to check next
Photograph the pattern from above and the profile from the side. Include the base signature and rim treatment. Compare the arrangement of motifs, not just one star or fan, with the named maker’s catalogue form.
