This nineteenth-century vase consists of cased cobalt blue and clear lead crystal with a polished pontil and age-related wear, originating from England or Europe around 1880. The piece displays a scalloped rim, a faceted neck with star motifs, and a bulbous lower body decorated with cut starburst patterns enclosed within clear circular panels. The design incorporates vertical flute and prism cutting along the upper neck and body, showing a vibrant cobalt colour contrasting with clear glass highlights. It measures 20 cm high with a rim diameter of 11.2 cm. In a modern home, this Victorian glass vessel works well placed upon a mantelpiece or a side table as a decorative display object. The item functions effectively for holding fresh floral arrangements or standing alone to showcase the intricate glass cutting and rich colouration. The traditional style blends into period-inspired interiors while adding a rich blue accent to a tabletop or display cabinet.

FAQs

Cut to clear glass, also known as flashed or cased glass, is produced by fusing a coloured layer of glass over a clear base layer before cutting geometric patterns through the outer layer to expose the clear glass beneath.

Cobalt glass was created by adding cobalt oxide to molten lead crystal or soda-lime glass, producing a deep blue hue that remained stable during reheating, casing, and wheel-cutting processes.

Authentic Victorian cut glass features hand-finished cut edges, subtle irregularities in hand-blown shapes, smooth pontil marks on the base, and characteristic weight associated with lead crystal content.

Position the vase near natural light sources, such as a window sill or glass-topped table, where light can pass through the clear cut facets to illuminate the blue casing.

Wash the glass by hand using warm water with mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads and sudden temperature changes, and dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
