Chalice - Crystal - Bohemian crystal

Splendid Bohemian-cut crystal goblet dating to the first half of the 19th century (Biedermeier period). It is a refined example of Central European craftsmanship, comparable in style and execution to the famous creations of the Moser manufactory or other important glassworks of the era. The central body features a complex geometric intaglio work called “diamond-cut,” alternating with smooth vertical bands. The upper and lower rims are finished with wide bands of 24-karat gold, which embellish the body and foot with dense geometric motifs and arabesques. There is a very small chip on the upper rim visible in the photos.
