Marvelous 19th Century Bohemian Red Crystal & 24k Gold Decorated Ewer

About the Item

A Marvelous 19th century Bohemian Red Crystal and 24k Gold Decorated Ewer/Water Jug Behold, this magnificent 19th century Bohemian Red Crystal Gilt Ewer is a true masterpiece of antique artistry. As you gaze upon this stunning piece, you will be immediately drawn to the intricate design of twisting and turning grape leaves, grapes, and vines with tendrils that have been expertly painted in a multi-toned partly translucent 24k Gold. The gilding lends a naturalistic appearance to the leaves, with shading and highlights, covering almost the entire surface of the ewer but allowing ribbons of red crystal to peek through, creating a stunning contrast that is both breathtaking and mesmerizing. The lovely swooping handle of the ewer curves down to banded gilding that highlights the waist, giving it an elegant and sophisticated look as it sits atop of the wonderfully plump lower section of the ewer, creating a sense of balance and harmony that is both pleasing to the eye and soothing to the soul. As you continue to marvel at the beauty of this antique piece, you will be enchanted by the base of the ewer, which fans out and has solid gilding that helps to frame the ewer nicely, balancing it perfectly with the waistline, beautifully curved spout, and handle. The result is a truly magnificent work of art that is both stunningly beautiful and exquisitely crafted. This museum quality antique is a rare and precious treasure that is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of all who are fortunate enough to behold it. It is a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisans who crafted it, and a reminder of the enduring beauty of antique artistry. In excellent condition, circa 1870, Bohemian.
