Antique 3-layer cut glass, handpainted pedestal beaker, goblet vase. Made Bohemia (now Czech Republic), 19th century, circa 1880 - 1900.

Measures 6 1/4 inches high.

Tremendous technical skill used to blow this vase in 3 layers - deep blue cut to clear with white opaque interior. Cut with rows of round windows to reveal the inner

layer, which creates a great visual play as it moves to different angles. The round windows of the main part of the body are each handpainted, very, very finely with

flowers - pink roses, blue daisies etc. Gilded upper rim. Technical and artistic skill as only found in the best Bohemian glass of the 1800's.

Very good condition - no chips/cracks/damage/restoration of any sort and the painting remains fresh and clear - obviously a well looked after piece for over 100

years.
