Brilliant, weighty, and richly faceted, this Bohemian Czech leaded crystal vase embodies the timeless elegance of mid-century European glassmaking. Its tall flared form rises from a solid pedestal base, opening into a dramatic scalloped rim that catches and refracts light from every angle. Deep hand-cut diamond and pinwheel patterns wrap the body, while an intricate floral motif blooms at the center, revealing the skilled craftsmanship that defines true lead crystal.
The clarity of the glass and the sharpness of the cuts speak to traditional Czech crystal production, a region long celebrated for exporting luxury table and décor pieces throughout the twentieth century. The scalloped edge adds sculptural presence, giving the vase a crown-like silhouette that feels equally at home in classic interiors, formal dining settings, or modern display spaces where vintage crystal becomes a focal accent.
This piece presents with excellent transparency and sparkle, offering the unmistakable brilliance that only leaded crystal provides. Whether used as a statement vase, a decorative centerpiece, or a collector’s showcase item, it delivers enduring elegance and visual depth that never goes out of style.
