Description
Antique Bohemian amber glass goblet and cover
Bohemian, Late 19th Century
Height 37cm, diameter 13cm

This exquisite Bohemian goblet, also known as pokal, dates to the late 19th century, and is a masterful example of European glass artistry. During the 1800s, Bohemian glass was highly revered across Europe and beyond, making this antique goblet a sought-after treasure for any discerning collector.

The goblet is fashioned from a rare combination of amber and ruby-hued glass, a striking effect achieved through a sophisticated overlay technique. This intricate process involves layering one colour of glass over another and then delicately cutting through the layers to reveal stunning, detailed patterns and depth. The body of the antique is embellished with ornate geometric shapes and star-like motifs, hallmarks of Bohemian crystal, often influenced by the Gothic and Renaissance revival styles popular in 19th-century European decorative arts.

The stem and base offer a more subtle design, with the stems likely hand-blown, while the base features bold, precision-cut detailing.

This goblet is a striking centrepiece that can be displayed in both traditional and contemporary interiors, making a bold statement wherever it is showcased.
