AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This amphora weighs 1580 grams at a height of 35 cm and a diameter of 15 cm: thick, bottle-green glass with a flat-cut edge and a cut foot. A ring closes the narrow neck. Under the oval belly there is a double ring knop and a broad disc foot, almost black in the light. Only color and silhouette carry this vase, and they do so without a single flower.

Description:
A neoclassical Art Deco style amphora form: narrow neck with attached ring and thick, flat-cut edge, beneath which an oval belly tapers to the ring knop and the disc foot. The glass is solid bottle-green and shifts in the thick parts, neck and foot, toward almost black. The belly is smooth, without a pontil seam or mold seam. The underside is flat-cut and polished; the grinding rings rotate around the center. A single air bubble at the neck join is characteristic of blown glass.
About the maker:
Bohemen built its reputation on glass blowers and grinders. Around Haida (Nový Bor) and Steinschönau (Kamenický Šenov), glass was blown in one hut and cut and finished in independent ateliers. This amphora fits into that tradition.
In the interior:
On the floor or a low cabinet beside a window, the glossy belly becomes a dark mirror for the daylight.
