This vase is an example of Bohemian (Czech) crystal with blue applied glass and hand-cutting. These pieces are known for their high quality, distinctive deep blue color (cobalt blue), cuts that reveal the clear glass beneath, and floral decoration.
Characteristics
Good condition, no visible damage.
Material: Lead crystal (lead content 24% or more), which provides a characteristic ringing sound, sparkle, and allows for precise cutting.
Color and Technique: The "cut-to-clear" technique is used, where a colored (in this case, cobalt blue) layer of glass is applied over a clear base, and then a pattern is hand-cut to reveal the underlying layer.
Design: The vase features a classic floral and possibly geometric pattern, typical of Bohemian craftsmen. The edges are sharp to the touch, indicating handcrafted workmanship rather than pressed glass.
Production: Vases have been produced in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic) from the mid-19th century to the present day by many different manufacturers, including Elbe Crystal and Crystalex.
