Diamond Cut Glass is decorative glass engraved with a repeating diamond-shaped pattern using precision cutting wheels. Popular throughout the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods, diamond cutting enhances the brilliance and light-reflecting qualities of crystal, making it a favoured decoration for decanters, drinking glasses, bowls, chandeliers and tableware. Antique examples are admired for their crisp definition, sparkling appearance and exceptional craftsmanship. *Related Terms*\ Brilliant Cut Glass, Crystal, Cut Glass, Decanter, Lead Crystal.
