Antique Bohemian Ruby Red Enameled Glass Hookah Base, 19th Century

About the Item

This antique hookah base, crafted from ruby glass in the 19th century, was designed specifically for the Persian market. The transparent glass is overlaid with a rich ruby layer, creating a striking visual contrast between the two. The circular body is adorned with intricate gilding highlights and skillful glass cutting, which accentuates the interplay between the ruby overlay and the underlying transparent glass. Four circular panels are featured on the body, each framed by applied enamel beads and showcasing a hand-painted bouquet at the center, adding a vibrant and delicate touch to the design. The neck of the hookah base is further decorated with additional glass overlays and enamel work, featuring intricate floral motifs. This piece stands as a fine example of the luxurious and ornate glassware produced by world-famous Bohemian glassmakers for the Islamic and Oriental markets. Its complex design and detailed decoration illustrate the exceptional skill and innovation that made Bohemian glass highly sought after across different cultures during this period.
