Late Victorian Moulded Lead Crystal Hobnail Design Fruit Bowl

This is a nice example of a moulded lead crystal fruit bowl probably dating to around 1880. The bowl has a plain galleried rim and a rounded body. The bowl has been moulded with the classic ‘Hobnail’ design. The base is star ‘cut’ and unmarked. It has a height of approximately 6.4cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 20.1cm and across the base of about 15.8cm. It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there are some striations through the glass from the moulding process.
