This is a high-quality lead crystal flower vase by Stuart Crystal and dating to the third quarter of the 20th century.
The vase is trumpet-shaped and sits on a thick, discoid cushion. There is a short cylindrical section which joins it to the star-cut foot.
The body is decorated below the rim with a band of short horizontal mitre cuts. The centre is cut with three rows of interlocking crosses, which forms a lattice of diamond-shaped panels. The panels in the central row each contain a six-pointed star cut.
The foot is marked on the edge with the words ‘STUART ENGLAND’. This mark was in use from the 1950s.
This vase can be seen on page 37 of Stuart Crystal Catalogue No. 55, with pattern number S/29164.
It has a height of approximately 16.3cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 8.7cm and across the foot of about 7.3cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 260g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there are a few wear and tear scratches to the body and base commensurate with age.
