Wonderful large antique Bohemian 7 3/4" tall goblet or vase in thick & heavy ruby to clear intaglio etched or engraved & wheel cut glass with large flower basket & faceted stem! The Grand Tour travelers of the Victorian era - travelers of wealth and standing, created industry in tourist souvenirs, and they bought them and had them sent back home as gifts and as proofs and remembrances of their wonderful travels. Many with city or place names, architectural renderings but this one with a large wheel-engraved jardiniere or basket filled with flowers. Perhaps Egermann, but definitely Bohemian glass, this one is mostly ruby with only the decorations and flower basket cut to clear making them stand out beautifully. Elegant, large at 7.75" tall and a 3.74" diameter at the rim.
Very good condition for age and type, these are amazing to see preserved so well after all this time, when function and the fragile nature of the blown glass it considered. Possibly a tiny nip or two but otherwise no chips nor cracks, no hairlines. A few very light surface scuffs also possible to show for its age, view our detailed photos to evaluate. See pictures for all measurements.
