Dear Deborah,
Thank you for your request. The presented object is a crystal cut bowl with the measurements of 8 inches diameter, 4 inches height, 25 1/2 inches circumference at the top, 4 1/2 inch diameter base. The bowl has a typical cut decor and was made for fruits or similar use. Such bowl was part of the standard household interior of the last generation. The dating of these bowls is quite difficult because they were produced from the late 19th century until now. This bowl seems to be made in the first half or middle of the 20th century. It should be made out of leaded crystal glass.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 80 to 160 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
