Handblown Bohemian Ruby Red Crystal Decanter

This exquisite ruby red cut crystal decanter, hand blown in Czechoslovakia, embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century glassmaking. Standing an impressive 15.5 inches tall with its matching stopper and 3.25 inches wide, this slender, striking bottle is a testament to the artistry of Mid-Century Modern design.

The rich cranberry hue, achieved through the historic ruby glassmaking process, is paired with intricate cut crystal patterns that catch and reflect light beautifully. The hand-blown nature of the piece ensures each detail is unique, with subtle variations that add to its charm. 

Czech ruby red glass is celebrated for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship, a tradition rooted in Bohemia’s glassmaking legacy dating back to the 17th century. This decanter exemplifies the overlay technique, where a thin ruby-colored layer is fused over clear crystal, allowing master artisans to cut detailed designs into the surface. These techniques create striking contrasts and timeless beauty, making this piece both functional and decorative.
