I a, selling this antique cut glass bowl because there are issues but all of these cut glass pieces do. With that said This is a really beautiful piece of cut glass! I tried to researching it to find the specific purpose but couldn't find any other bowl out there with tab handles like this one so your guess is as good as mine. I couldn't find a pattern name either. The floral like design between the leaf shape cuts is very beautiful. Notice there is a larger pair of this floral cut that runs up to the top of the tab handles. The intricacy of the cut is just amazing. Truly beautiful. You have to see it when light shines into it! If you like cut glass this is a must have! Like with most cut glass there is some hidden dinging to the design. Likely from the actual cut. Along the tooth rim there is some ding chip. A little uneveness to the cut detail. Looks like one tooth near a handle is missing. And buying then there is some ding/chip to the edge of the tab handles. In my opinion no disfiguring chips or cracks. All of what I mention are common issues with these beautiful old cut glass bowls. To be REALLY picky a little tippiness to the bowl when sitting on a surface again this is a cutting issue. All in all I think it is a beautiful piece of American Brilliant Cut Glass. Some serious weight to this bowl. It measures appr 4 1/4” tall to the top of the tab handles and then appr7” side to side measuring handle to handle.
