| Being offered is a very attractive ABP nappy with hobstars, stars, strawberry diamond and fan motifs. It is in good condition with some scratching on the outside bottom as would be expected of a piece almost 100 years old. The glass is ¼” thick on 1 ½” tall sides and a 6” diameter. There are some minor little nicks and chips on teeth but nothing that detracts from the presentation or use of this 54% lead crystal nappy. It does emit a light green aura when subjected to short wavelength UV light. The shipping weight of this item is 1 lb. 4 oz. AMERICAN BRILLIANT PERIOD" I get people in that have absolutely no idea of how to collect ABP glass or don't have the slightest idea what ABP is all about. They tell me that they will not buy a piece unless it is signed. This is what I tell them. First, signing didn't start until 1896. That was halfway through the Period, so you are eliminating about one half of the glass. Second, not all the cutting houses signed their glass, so you are eliminating cutters like Dorflinger, for example. Also, many signatures disappeared when people had scratches polished out of the item". G.S. (ABCG Museum Curator). Thank you for visiting our shop and please return. | ||
