AN ELIZABETH II DIAMOND-CUT CRYSTAL CENTERPIECE, ENGLAND, MID-20th CENTURY

Of sizeable proportions, this impressive lead crystal centerpiece is raised on a stout, knopped stem and a radial-cut circular foot. The capacious, barrel-form bowl is extensively and meticulously decorated with a broad primary register of classic, deep-cut diamonds, providing exceptional optical refraction. This central band is elegantly surmounted by a distinct upper border of tight, diagonal linear cuts just below the gently flared rim. The sheer scale and exceptional clarity of the medium underscore its function as a prominent table focal point. The underside of the foot bears the etched factory mark for Tudor Crystal.
