“Blue Kristall” Vase – 100% Handcrafted Bohemian Hot-Worked Crystal from Nový Bor This majestic vase, crafted from heavy Bohemian crystal in a deep blue tone, is a testament to the mastery of traditional Czech glassmaking. Shaped by hand directly from molten glass using a blowpipe, its elegant, flowing surface structure and solid clear base give it both grace and impressive weight. With an approximate weight of 3.6 kg, it stands as much a sculptural object as it does a decorative one. Each piece was individually handmade at the legendary Czech glassworks Egermann, once part of the renowned development center EX BOR in Nový Bor. The glassworks proudly bore the name of Fridrich Egermann (1777–1864), an innovator of decorative techniques including the iconic Egermann’s Overlay (Lasur). For generations, this workshop shaped the international reputation of Czech glass. The vase is completely unused, stored in its original box from the glassworks, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is an original, collectible piece of genuine historical value. The Egermann glassworks, in its traditional Czech form, has unfortunately ceased operations. This vase belongs to the final generation of authentic, original pieces — created at a time when Czech hot-worked glass was still produced using time-honored techniques in the heart of Bohemia. ⸻ True Czech glass artistry – a substantial, certified blue crystal vase with heritage and soul.
