Description from the seller

Exclusive set of 6 Bohemian crystal amaro glasses – 1920s
A rare opportunity to own a piece of European glass art history. This set of six amaro glasses embodies timeless elegance and the craftsmanship of Bohemian Crystal (now Czech Republic), dating back to the 1920s.
Details and Meticulous Manufacturing
These cups are not just simple containers, but genuine works of art. Although they are part of the same service and basic model, they feature a fascinating peculiarity: their meticulous craftsmanship varies from one to another.
Country of Origin: Bohemia (now the Czech Republic).
Era: the 1920s (Art Deco / early 1900s).
Material: high-quality crystal with a vibrant emerald green hue that spectacularly captures light, highlighting every facet.
Cut Crystal
The most distinctive feature is their complex and precise engraving technique (cut), a hallmark of Bohemian crystal. This method, executed with great care and precision, has allowed the creation of two main types of patterns:
Diamond Cut: A timeless classic that forms a crisscrossed grid of diamond-shaped cuts, giving the glass a rich texture and brilliance.
Motif for Stella/Raggi (Star/Fan Cut): More open and 'blooming' cuts, which create a visual contrast and evoke a sense of lightness and brightness.
The unique element of this set lies in the fact that some glasses feature a predominant diamond pattern, while others display a star pattern, all while maintaining the same tapered shape with a disc base. This variation in cut, intentional and refined, demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship, making each piece unique within the set.
These small glasses are perfect for serving liqueurs, digestifs, or bitters, adding a touch of vintage luxury to any collection or table.
