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.

This Bohemian crystal decanter dates from the period around 1900, reflecting the luxury glass production of makers such as Harrach or Josephinenhütte. The piece consists of a single body formed from clear lead crystal, over-plated with vibrant cobalt blue glass and hand cut to reveal the clear glass underneath. The wide flared base features deep starburst cut motifs, while the tapered neck displays a band of oval facets designed to aid handling for pouring. A fitted matching glass stopper sits at the top, topped with a rounded, mushroom-shaped finial adorned with a star cut that mirrors the decoration on the body and base. It stands 29 cm high. The decanter brings a refined decorative element to a gentleman's library or study, and suits placement on a sideboard top for display or serving in a traditional dining room interior today.

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.
