Rare/Fine 19th C. Bohemian Triple Overlay Crystal Jeweled and Covered Decanter

Description

A Fine, Rare, and Highly Important 19th Century Bohemian Blue-Over-White-Over-Clear Triple Overlay Crystal Jeweled and Covered Imperial Decanter. The decanter is crafted from clear glass which is partially covered with a blue-over-white overlay, forming decorative oval medallions and shaped panels. It features an ovoid body that is parcel-gilt with stylized leafy vines, floral motifs, and swirling patterns. The decanter is further ornamented with multi-colored jewels. The decanters are topped by paneled necks, which are finely enameled and parcel-gilt, and encircled by gilt faceted knops. The necks terminate in gilt faceted mouths which are fitted with mushroom-shaped stoppers with faceted pointed tips. These stoppers feature parcel-gilt bands, scrollwork, and floral designs as well as enamel beads. While crafted in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic), these decanters were intended for the Persian (Iranian) market. Bohemia, Circa: 19th Century
