Set of Seven Brilliant Period Cut Glass Salad Plates - A fine matched set of seven American Brilliant Period cut glass plates, late 19th to early 20th century, each with deeply cut starburst and hobstar centers radiating outward to scalloped rims decorated with fan and crosshatched motifs. The crispness of the cutting and symmetry of the design reflect the high craftsmanship of the Brilliant Period (1876–1917), when American glassmakers such as Libbey, Hawkes, and J. Hoare were producing some of the finest cut glass in the world. Each plate features a dramatic central sunburst medallion, surrounded by alternating fans and diamond-cut patterns, creating a dazzling play of light. The scalloped rims enhance the elegance and emphasize the fine workmanship. 7 in. Diameter
