Large 19th C. Bohemian Amber-cut-to-clear Crystal Punch Bowl W/ Hunting Scenes

Description

A Spectacular and Quite Large 19th Century Bohemian Amber-Cut-to-Clear Crystal Punch Bowl with Hunting Scenes and Underplate. This marvelous three-piece punch bowl is complete with an underplate, elaborately hand-carved, etched, and acid washed bowl and cover. Pieces like this are very rare to come across especially in this quality, craftsmanship and condition. It takes an expert crystal maker to hand-carve, etch, and acid-wash each minute detail on this piece. The hunting scene is fully complete with a doe (female deer), hunting dog, and a stag (male deer). Each of the animals is running through a marvelous wooded forest with an elaborate display of evergreen trees, large oak trees, rocks, and ponds. The underplate is marvelous as well with a grape leaf and fruit border which has been etched and acid-washed. Finally, the lid is hand-carved, etched, and acid-washed with a grape-leaf fruit and vine design. Bohemia, Circa: 19th Century.
