Description from the seller
Magnificent Bohemian-cut crystal punch service of high quality, consisting of :
• 1 grand punch bowl with a faceted lid in a model similar to a 20th‑century instance (approximately 18×16.5 cm)
• 8 matching punch glasses (8 cm tall)
• 1 presentation tray (28.5 cm in diameter)
The set is made of thick crystal of superb workmanship, richly decorated with cut and engraved motifs of grapevine leaves and grape clusters finely satinized, paired with radiating stars and deep geometric facets. The upper part of the mixing bowl features a frieze of diamond points and wheel-cut stars. The lid, also cut and engraved with a vegetal motif, is topped by a faceted crystal knob. The matching platter, in cut crystal, harmoniously completes the set and provides an elegant presentation for receptions or grand occasions.
The quality of the cutting, the depth of the motifs, and the weight of the crystal attest to European craftsmanship of fine quality, probably from the second half of the 20th century, in the style of the great European Central Crystalworks (Boême) or French ones. The bright amber hue especially highlights the depth and brilliance of the crystal, offering superb plays of light

• Decoration: grapevine, grape clusters, stars and geometric motifs
• Signature: unsigned
• Era: 20th century
Condition
