Colbalt blue cut clear crystal Czech bohemian vase

This is a cobalt blue cut to clear crystal vase. Measure 12" tall x 6" wide from across top.

Bohemian crystal, originating from the Bohemia region of the Czech Republic, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Known for its exceptional clarity and intricate hand-cut designs, Bohemian crystal became highly sought after by European royalty and aristocracy.

The cobalt blue color, achieved through the addition of cobalt oxide during the glassmaking process, adds to its visual appeal and value. Cut to clear crystal involves overlaying a layer of colored glass over a clear crystal base, then cutting away portions of the colored layer to reveal the clear crystal underneath, creating intricate patterns and designs. This technique requires skilled craftsmanship and precision. Combination of the vibrant cobalt blue color and the detailed cut designs makes this vase.
