AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bohemian Cobalt Blue Cut-to-Clear Crystal Vase – Starburst Pattern (c. 1950s)

A heavy and beautifully crafted vase, made from high-quality lead crystal using the sophisticated "Cut-to-Clear" (or double-cased) technique. The clear crystal base is overlaid with a vibrant layer of Cobalt Blue glass, which has then been intricately hand-cut to reveal the transparent crystal beneath. The cutting work is dense and features classic Bohemian patterns, including a detailed geometric grid/lattice intersected by complex starburst and fan motifs. The deep, brilliant blue colour combined with the highly polished facets creates a spectacular light reflection.

Key Characteristics
Origin: Bohemian (Czech) crystal.
Technique: Hand-Cut, Double-Cased Lead Crystal (Cut-to-Clear).
Colour: Deep Cobalt Blue and Clear (Transparent).
Style: Mid-Century / Classic Bohemian.
Pattern: Starbursts and Geometric Facets.

Excellent condition : The crystal remains highly brilliant with a powerful sparkle. Free from chips or cracks. Some minor signs of age/use are present but the overall presentation is excellent. The heavy weight (1.350 gr) confirms the quality of the lead crystal.
