A Trio of Cut Lead Crystal Tableware including a Pair of Candlesticks and a Bud Vase - A trio of cut lead crystal items consisting of a matched pair of candlesticks and a single bud vase. The candlesticks are constructed with flared nozzles and wide drip pans positioned above baluster-form stems featuring facet-cut knops. These terminate in plain, polished circular bases. The bud vase is of tapering cylindrical form, decorated with a deep hand-cut diamond lattice pattern. It stands on a circular base with a radial star-cut pattern to the underside. The items are produced from clear lead crystal with sharp, refractive cutting. No etched signatures, acid-etched marks, or manufacturer labels are visible on any of the pieces. Each item retains orange adhesive labels from a previous listing. The candlesticks contain remnants of partially used wax candles. The style of the pieces is consistent with 20th-century British crystal production from manufacturers such as Royal Brierley or Stuart Crystal.
