Condition:

Very Good (no obvious major chips visible, typical minor fleabites to sawtooth rim may be present upon close inspection)

Identification Score: 95%

The form, deep mitre cuts, hobstar motifs, and notched handle are highly diagnostic of American Brilliant Period cut glass.

Authenticity Score: 90%

The sharpness of the cuts and the overall geometry strongly suggest authentic hand-cut lead crystal from the period, rather than later pressed glass imitations, though in-hand inspection of the weight and UV fluorescence would confirm.
