Based on extensive research with the American Cut Glass Association (ACGA) and comparisons to historic, out-of-print Dorflinger catalogs, the pattern closely aligns with Sultana, one of Dorflinger’s most celebrated and scarce designs. \u003c\/span\u003eDorflinger did not acid-etch marks into his glass; instead, original pieces were typically identified with gum paper labels, long since lost on most surviving examples. Attribution today relies on pattern recognition, cutting quality, and form—areas in which this bowl excels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl features a dramatic sawtooth rim, with deeply cut sides displaying bands of diamonds interspersed with stars, circles, and diamonds-within-diamonds—resembling finely cut windows that catch and refract the light beautifully. The base is particularly striking, showcasing a fully realized floral motif that spans the entire foot and transitions seamlessly into the surrounding pattern, a hallmark of superior American Brilliant craftsmanship. The glass sparkles brilliantly, passes the traditional ring test, and has substantial weight—clear indicators of true American Brilliant Period cut glass. \u003cspan\u003eExceptional antique condition. There are a few minor flea bites or slightly sharp points to the touch, consistent with age and hand-cut glass of this period.
