Antique ABP Cut Glass Oval Nappy – Hobstar & Fan, UV Reactive Floral Etched

This American Brilliant Period cut glass nappy from the 1890s–1910s showcases the geometric precision and light-catching artistry that defined formal entertaining in its era. Deep hobstar motifs radiate across the oval base, framed by fan and floral elements beneath a sawtooth rim that reflects light from every angle. An authentic manganese content causes the glass to glow blue-aqua under ultraviolet light, a characteristic that confirms its pre-WWI origin and appeals to collectors of American cut glass craftsmanship. The piece bears minor chipping to the rim consistent with age, and works beautifully as a decorative accent on a sideboard, vanity, or display shelf.
