American Brilliant Period defined the fine quality, hand-cut crystal produced between 1880 and 1925. Its exceptional “brilliance” results from the high lead content of the glass (up to 50%, versus 24% for modern crystal) which gives it a high refractive index. In other words, ABP pieces behave like prisms or gemstones: they bend and scatter light into the different colors of the rainbow. To make a piece of ABP glass, an artisan would take a “blank” (or uncut piece of glass) and press it against a series of spinning wheels. This would cut the desired pattern into the surface of the glass. When finished, he or she would polish the design (cutting gave glass a milky, white appearance; polishing restored its clarity and sparkle). ABP pieces were originally designed and manufactured for the upper classes of Victorian society.
