Bohemian Cobalt Crystal Decanter

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a superb example of cut overlayed crystal Bohemian glass

The decanter dates to the turn of the century circa 1895-1900

And is in the style of the two specific producers of luxury glass in this period.

Namely Harrach or Josenfinehutte.

The manufacturing process was extremely expensive and the glassware was made for the affluent market of the time.

The decanter is in superb condition with its original mushroom stopper which has a star cut to emulate the body and base stars

It stands approx 29cm tall

And as it is lead crystal it has a significant weight

The neck of the decanter has oval cuts which actually make it easier to handle and hold to pour.

The manufacturing process has a number of stages initially the single body made from clear lead crystal and this is then over plated with the coloured glass which is then hand cut to reveal the clear glass.

A beautiful and rare object in such pristine condition.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bohemian glass, originating in historical Bohemia, gained renown for rich colours, particularly deep cobalt blue achieved by adding cobalt oxide to molten glass, often embellished with hand-cut geometric patterns.

Artisans crafted these pieces using free-blown or cased glass techniques, where coloured glass was fused or solid-blown, then hand-cut using lapidary wheels to create light-refracting facets and starburst motifs.

Authentic historical Bohemian pieces typically exhibit hand-cut geometric facets, pontil marks or polished bases on the underside, substantial weight due to lead content, and sharp engraving rather than moulded seams.

Position the decanter on a dark timber sideboard, brass bar cart, or near a light source like a window sill to highlight the deep blue glass against modern neutral backdrops.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding dishwasher heat which causes clouding, and ensure the interior dries fully before replacing the glass stopper.
