Generic factory export mark from the mid-to late 20th century, utilized when the region was still part of Czechoslovakia. The symbol "C" encasing a traditional glass chalice or goblet, a visual nod to the centuries old glassblowing guild emblems of northern Bohemia.
The vase is crafted using a multi-layered glass technique, rich ruby red stained or overlay is applied to the exterior of the clear lead crystal base, which is then masterfully hand-cut and etched away to reveal the transparent crystal underneath. The specific type of frosted floral decoration combined with deep ruby casing is a hallmark style famously produced by traditional glasswork in the region, such as Egermann.
