Here we have
6 SUPER RARE AMERICAN BRILLIANT CUT GLASS FOOTED
Sherbet Dessert w
MATCHING
Saucers and they are
SIGNED!
I have collected American Brilliant cut glass since the early 1970’s and this is the FIRST TIME I have seen a set such as this!!!
The saucer has a huge 8 point star with fans and two 4 point strawberry diamond (also known as cross cut diamond) triangles with a single fan inside each point. In between the points are large fans and on the lower half is diamond cut motifs all around the large star on the base. The sherbet or dessert cup is
BEAUTIFULLY
cut with a chain of 4 point strawberry diamond inside 4 point triangles with large fans around the top and a diamond cut motif all around the lower part of the strawberry diamonds. Each is footed with a
GRACEFUL
curved stem that is vertically paneled with  zipper cutting.  The foot has a large star.
Both sherbet or dessert cup and saucer are quite heavy!
Sherbet measures 3 1/2" tall, 3 1/4" at widest part, 3 7/8" diameter at the mouth and 2 3/4" diameter at the foot. Saucer measures 6 1/4" diameter and is 7/8" tall.
The saucers are signed “J. Hoare & Co., Corning 1853” in the middle (it is acid etched and very hard to see, you have to turn it a certain way in the light but it is there). The cups are signed “Hoare” near the rim.
Really good condition with one small problem and that is one sherbet cup with a 3/8” by 1/8” chip in the rim of the foot, you can see it in the last photo. Few pinpoint fleabites to the cup base of 2 of them. You can feel it more than see it, it is so tiny, hence “fleabite”.  Other than that all 6 sets of cups and saucers (and the saucer that goes with the cup that has the one little chip) have no cracks and only a little wear on the bases of some of the saucers.
This set is around 166 YEARS OLD as it notes 1853! If I live to even 85 I WILL HAVE A FEW FLEABITES AND A CHIP, I AM SURE!!!
FANTASTIC set that will garner MANY COMPLIMENTS!
