The elongated crystal bowl features a dramatic scalloped rim with repeating fan, starburst, and crosshatched cuts that catch the light beautifully. It rests above an elaborate floral-form gilt metal collar and richly detailed pedestal, all anchored by a weighty white marble plinth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStamped MADE IN ITALY, the piece is characteristic of the glamorous crystal-and-marble decorative accessories produced during the 1960s and early 1970s. Closely related examples are associated with Monarch Crystal, which paired European cut crystal with elaborate Italian marble and metal mounts. Without an original manufacturer's label, we are offering this piece as Monarch-attributed rather than definitively identifying the maker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 13 inches long and 8.5 inches high, this is a wonderfully substantial centerpiece with enough presence for a dining table, console, library table, bar, or grand entry vignette. Its combination of sparkling crystal, aged metal and marble gives it exactly the collected European character that layers so beautifully into traditional and English country interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina and wear to the metal components. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApproximately 13\"L × 6\"W × 8.5\"H overall.
