Description

A large boat-shaped or navette-form centrepiece bowl constructed from clear lead crystal with cranberry-coloured glass overlays. The vessel features an undulating sawtooth rim and two integral scrolled handles at the terminals. The body is decorated with two central circular cranberry flash medallions, each featuring an intaglio-cut motif of a bird perched upon a branch amongst stylized foliage. The surrounding clear glass is heavily cut with a complex geometric arrangement of strawberry diamonds, fans, and cross-hatching. The underside of the base is cut with a large multi-pointed starburst or hobstar pattern. The clarity and sharp faceting of the glass indicate a high lead content consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century Bohemian glass production. No maker’s marks or signatures were detected on the glass surface or base during inspection.
