Easily one of the most impressive patterns that Clark ever produced, the Orloff pattern exemplifies one of Clarke’s most unique motifs – the lapidary diamond. The Orloff pattern, appropriately named after the Orloff diamond, pay perfect tribute to the infamous jewel.

The bowl is heavily cut with a variety of motifs, but undeniably, the one that draws one’s eye into the pattern are the large, lapidary diamonds. These diamonds are cut so deeply that at least 3/4 of the blank must be removed with the surrounding hobstar. This is shown particularly well in the last photo. These hobstars are surrounded by deep, clear-cut circles. Framing the major motif is a shield shaped field filled with hobnail connected by notching. The rest of the pattern is made up of a central hobstar with 4 spokes of cane dividing the rest of the pattern. This cane is topped with crosshatching and a deep hobstar. The bowl has the unusual scalloped treatment that Clark always used on the Orloff pattern – really an extremely unique touch to a particularly recognizable pattern.

The bowl is in great condition and measures 9 1/8″ wide and 3 5/8″ tall. The blank is very heavy and particularly clear – which only shows off those lapidary diamonds even more!

This is an excellent low bowl in Hawkes Grecian pattern. The Grecian pattern is one of Hawkes’ best patterns due to its extensive use of clear-tusk cutting. The piece is unsigned, and likely was made before they started signing glass.

The Grecian pattern displays wonderfully on this bowl. A large 8-point hobstar formation fills the center of the bowl.  Spurring from each of the points of that formation are 8 large clear-tusk vesicas. Supposedly this was one of, if not the most difficult motifs to cut as it has to be done by the naked eye, rather than tracing a line. These tusks extend all the way into the rim treatment to a nice, sharp point. The rest of the pattern is entirely Russian cutting and the contrast between the clear tusks and the brilliant cutting is particularly striking.

The bowl is in perfect condition, save for a couple of fleabites, and measures 9″ wide and 1 1/2″ tall. The blank is extremely clear and the wood-wheel polishing allows the pattern to dazzle and delight.

This vase is cut in Egginton’s highly desirable Calve (Triple Miter Trellis) Pattern. The pattern was named for famed opera singer Emma Calvé. I have attached two photos of the singer wearing clothing which is actually curiously similar to the design of this pattern*. Egginton used this blank for its nicest patterns – Arabian, Genoa and Calve. The vase has the u-notches that Egginton, Hawkes and Sinclaire used as well.

The Calve pattern consists of hundreds of detailed hobstars being intertwined with deep, triple-miter cutting. The relief creates large knobs that the hobstars remain perched on. It’s incredible to feel a piece like this in your hands – with all that glass cut away and the play in depth. It’s an exercise in wonderful engineering and cutting precision. The base of the vase is finished with a rayed star. The pattern shows particularly well on this vase as the hobstars start out large, shrink towards the pinched center, and expand again at the base! Really a stunner!

This piece is in perfect condition and measures just over 13 1/2 “tall and 5 1/2” wide. The blank is extremely clear and the polish exceptional – what you would expect from the wonderful craftsman of the O.F. Egginton Cut Glass Company.

*Special thanks to R.S. for pointing out the Emma Calvé dress similarities.

This gorgeous bowl is in American Cut Glass company’s Mary pattern. The Mary pattern was designed by William C. Anderson and has led to the identification of many more attributed patterns by the top-tier designer. The pattern resembles Libbey’s Neola on steroids.

Three large, split-point hobstars adorn the entire bowl. These hobstars have extended points at both the top and bottom. The bottom point extends across the center of the bowl, crossing and going past the other hobstars’ points. The tip of this point looks to explode into highly-stylized fern cutting which spurs off into 8 different directions. The cutting is stunning and polished to absolute perfection.

The bowl is on a thick, heavy blank and measures 9″ wide by 3 3/4″ tall. It’s in virtually perfect condition with only some small fleabites in the feathered cutting. The blank quality and precision of cutting make this pattern pop off the glass – it’s a stunning example of a pattern that William C. Anderson must have thought highly of.

Mayflower is part of a trio of P&B’s best patterns, which I like to call the Pilgrim line. Plymouth, Duchess, and Mayflower display some incredible design and cutting and were all quite pricey to produce. This cream and sugar set cost $18.50 in 1905 which was extremely expensive at the time.

The Mayflower pattern features an unusual flat hobstar in the center – it’s almost as if it has too many points in the corners. This hobstar holds two crossing bands of tiny, detailed Russian cutting. Nesting in between these bands are four panels featuring two hobstars each, topped with cane on either side. These panels are encapsulated on all four sides by 4 vesicas of tight crosshatching. The handles are sharply triple notched.

The set is in good condition, with some minor chips to the spout and some additional fleabites. The blanks are phenomenal and it becomes readily apparent why P&B charged so much more for Mayflower than their other patterns. This is certainly one of the highest quality cream and sugars available.

This gorgeous bowl features one of the most desirable motifs in all of cut glass – the lapidary (rose)  diamond. This type of cutting was done primarily by Clark and Meriden but this piece happens to be cut by the Laurel Cut Glass Company in their rare Roosevelt pattern.

Three large Florence style stars are cut surrounding a huge lapidary diamond. Each of these stars has points made up of alternating panels of crosshatching and hobstars.  Each of these feature formations are framed by large, deeply cut circles and notched prism, which separates these masterpieces from the rest of the pattern. Dividing each circle is are two large bands of cane surrounding a shooting hobstar with a crosshatched tail. The layering of a pattern in this manner is an unusual design element that I don’t often see. The center of the bowl is finished with a large 24-point hobstar.

The bowl measures 8 1/8″ wide and 3 5/8″ tall. It’s in perfect condition save for a small clam-shell on a miter.  Lapidary diamonds like this one are particularly rare and extremely popular for obvious reasons. They take the diamond-like cutting that we all love in brilliant cut glass to another level.

This is one of the most beautiful patterns Libbey ever made – Comet. It is officially known as Lenox, but more commonly referred to as Comet. The plate is signed with the Libbey saber trademark.

The most beatiful, richly cut hobstar is featured in the center and framed in an octagonal form. Swirling around the center hobstar are two types of shooting stars. On features a tail made of two clear-button hobstar. The other type of tail is a flat hobstar with a feathered tail. The outer edge of the plate features a very unusual large, split-point hobstar with fans in between each point. What remarkable about this pattern is that the miter that frames the hobstar extends impeccably all the way to the outer edge of the tray (making up the furthest point of the deep hobstars). Absolutely amazing!

The tray is in perfect condition and measures 10″ wide and 1 1/4″ tall. It’s in perfect condition.

This has always been one of the most popular items in Brilliant Cut Glass – the Queens Trumpet vase. This piece is signed with the Hawkes trefoil.

The Queens pattern is one of the most visually stunning patterns. A long chain of very richly  cut hobstars extends down the length of the vase. Alternating with these are chains of St. Louis Diamond (honeycomb) cutting. This work gives an incredible optical effect and shows off the high clarity glass. This piece is even rarer than most  because it lacks the typical lapidary knob seen on so many of these piece – rather it has a complete continuation of the pattern with smaller and smaller St. Louis Diamond.

This Queens vase is larger than most, at 16 1/2″ tall and 5 1/2″ wide. The blank is extremely heavy and of the highest Steuben quality. The vase is in perfect condition. There is a reason that Queens is so popular and this vase exemplifies the reason for its ever-lasting, strong demand. This piece is being offered at a bargain price considering that the rule of thumb has always been $100 per inch of the Queens pattern.

This may very well be Libbey’s rarest design – the Star Pattern. According to Rarities in American Cut Glass this pattern is was only cut for 5 months. I’m not surprised by this claim as I have only ever seen three pieces in this pattern ever. The bowl is signed Libbey by the edge which is consistent with the other pieces I’ve seen.

The Star pattern is like Expanding Star on steroids. I imagine this pattern was designed by William C. Anderson given that it uses a number of his design elements. The center of the Star pattern consists of one of the most unusual star formations. A center hobstar is surrounded by an additional star made up of large, mitered/buttoned points. Each of these points is seperated by tightly cut fans. The next layer of the pattern consists of 5 pointed stars with fanned centers. Alternating clear button hobstars and flat, split-point hobstars make up the followign strata. The final layer is made up of 5-pointed stars with hobstar centers.

This bowl measures 8″ wide and 3 5/8″ tall. The blank is magnificent and free of any damage save for a few tiny fleabites. To say this pattern is incredible merely sells it short – this is a rarity that any collector would be delighted to have.

This gorgeous 7″ plate is in Hawkes’ Aberdeen pattern. This pattern is always extremely high-quality and heavily cut – definitely under the rader. The wood-wheel polish makes this piece pop on a beautiful old, clear blank.

Aberdeen features an 6-pointed star formation with a hobstar center. In between each point of the central star sprouts a vesicas featuring strawberry-diamond cutting. Each of these vesicas has a deep miter cut down the center of it. Hobstars sit perched in between each strawberry diamond vesica.

The blank of this plate is top quality. It’s in great condition with the exception of one small nick to the tip of a tooth. The plate measures 7 1/8″ wide and just under 1″ tall.

This bowl, in C.F. Monroe’s Myrtice design features a wonderful swirling design with a wide variety of motifs.

In terms of swirling patterns, the Mrytice pattern is quite different in that it undulates in more than one direction rather than swirling in the same direction. The bars of the swirl feature a unique field of crosshatching, with a clear cut, wide-set rayed star in each one. A flat hobstar is placed in between each of these crosshatched area. Notched prism divides the bars and is topped with fan and deep hobstars finish off the piece at the edge.

This bowl is on a beautiful blank and is in mint, original condition. It measures 8″ wide and 2″ tall. This pattern is very much singular in a sea of cut glass designs and exemplifies a both pleasing to the eye arrangement and high quality cutting.

This is one of the more unusual piece I’ve ever seen. It’s in an unknown pattern cut with extreme skill and precision on quite an elegant blank. No spot was spared from the skilled cutting on this piece.

Notched prism extends from the top of this face until the pinched middle where it meets some of the deepest stair cutting I’ve seen. Please study the photos to see how much of the blank is cut away in this portion – at least half! The notched cutting resumes for the lower portion of the vase where it frames richly cut hobstars. Even the base is finished in a 20-point hobstar. Lots of detail and care went into this vase.

This piece is in perfect condition and measures 11 5/8″ tall and 4 1/2″ wide. The blank is wonderfully clear save for one tiny rust colored stain in the base (literally smaller than a finger nail tip).
