Pair of decorative crystal baskets with fixed handles, one in emerald-green overlay crystal and one in clear Bohemian crystal, dating from around 1960–1970 and in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
Superb set of two decorative baskets with fixed handles, perfectly illustrating the craftsmanship of the great Central European crystal manufacturers of the mid-20th century. This lot brings together two iconic and highly sought-after cutting techniques, and consists of:
A- Emerald Green Overlay Crystal Basket (Nachtmann / Bohemia)
• Technique: Overlay crystal (Überfangglas). The emerald green outer layer has been hand-cut to reveal the clear crystal beneath.
• Motifs: Rich geometric decoration combining broad, smooth “olives” on the handle, intricate crosshatching and diamond-point cuts.
• Base: A superb radiating star cut into the underside ensures perfect refraction of light.
Dimensions: 14 x 15.5 x 10.5 cm
B- Clear Bohemian Crystal Basket (Bohemia Crystal)
• Technique: Highly transparent clear lead crystal, hand-blown and hand-cut.
• Motifs: Traditional “Větrník” (windmill / Hobstar) pattern. It features finely cut stars alternating
with matte/satin sections for a striking contrast of textures.
Dimensions: 16.5 x 18 x 11 cm
Happy bidding, everyone!
As with all my items listed for auction on this site, this wonderful piece has not been cleaned (only dusted) or altered since I bought it. It may need a little cleaning to restore it to its full splendor.
