American Brilliant Cut Glass Whiskey Tumblers

Early 20th Century American Brilliant Cut Whiskey Tumblers

Add a touch of early 1900s elegance to your bar with this pair of American Brilliant Cut whiskey tumblers. Adorned with intricate floral, diamond, and criss-cross cuts, these pieces showcase the labor-intensive craftsmanship of the period, featuring floral patterns—a cost-saving trend post-1910. These glasses do glow green under UV light meaning they were likely made before 1930. Though the maker remains unknown, this pair, free of damage and clouding, will make a stunning addition for any collector or cocktail enthusiast.
