Bohemian Ruby-Stained Crystal Bowl with Engravings, Karl Pfohl, 19th Century

About the Item

This exceptional ruby-stained crystal bowl is a masterpiece of 19th-century Bohemian glassmaking, attributed to the renowned master Karl Pfohl. The piece stands out for its exquisite engravings depicting hunting scenes and natural landscapes, crafted with incredible attention to detail. The bowl features a majestic stag in a forest, a dynamic hunting scene with a dog in pursuit, and an exotic landscape with a palm tree and a bird in flight. These depictions not only highlight the engraver’s exceptional skill but also symbolize the aristocratic values and traditions of the 19th century. The monogram “C.M.” suggests that the item was custom-made for a distinguished client. The material used is rich ruby-stained crystal, created through the incorporation of gold during the production process, adding a luxurious and prestigious touch. The bowl boasts an elegant scalloped edge and is set on a robust pedestal with a petal-shaped base, enhancing its grandeur. This bowl is attributed to Karl Pfohl, whose works are displayed in the renowned Passauer Glasmuseum (Museum of Glass in Passau). The Bohemian glassmakers from the Steinschönau region were celebrated for their highly artistic creations designed for European nobility. This bowl is a rare and valuable example of their craftsmanship.
