About the Item

This elegant cobalt blue overlay cut crystal vase is a fine example of high-quality European crystal craftsmanship from the early 20th-century. Made using the overlay technique, a layer of deep cobalt blue crystal has been fused over clear crystal and then meticulously hand-cut to reveal the transparent layer beneath. This demanding process creates a striking contrast and demonstrates a high level of artisanal skill. The surface is richly decorated with an all-over geometric pattern composed of diamond cuts and finely engraved star motifs, expertly executed to maximize brilliance and light reflection. The intense blue overlay enhances the depth of the cutting, allowing the clear crystal to sparkle vividly through the blue ground. The vase presents a harmonious silhouette with a gently flared neck, sculpted shoulder, and rounded body tapering gracefully toward the base. The rim is smoothly polished, while the interior remains clear crystal, offering a refined contrast to the exterior overlay. The base is finished with a deeply cut starburst, a classic feature of quality crystal production. Decorative on its own or used as a vase, this piece is both sculptural and timeless, making it an excellent accent for classic or contemporary interiors and a desirable addition to any crystal collection.
