For show a superb Irish 2 piece cut glass bowl and stand from the Age of Exuberance 1825-30.
Diameter of Bowl 10.75"
Height 8.75"
Weight 2635gm.
The bowl is decorated with strawberry diamonds and has a scalloped rim.
An identical bowl is shown on page 127 of Irish Glass by Phelps Warren and was part of the authors own collection. His whole collection was bequeathed to the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Museum New York in 1986.
In the book Phelps Warren does not say who exactly made the bowl, except it came from Bangor near Belfast. Although there was I believe cut glass was made in Belfast as well as Waterford and Cork.
Thanks Roy

The cutting and design are incredible.
