ABOUT PRODUCTID 13482
This Biedermeier cream jug, originating from mid-19th century Bohemia, is crafted from double-layered glass with a striking combination of ruby red overlays on a base of vibrant amber yellow. The decorative scheme uses alternating vertical amber panels and deep ruby oval medallions arranged around the foot, forming a geometric, multi-faceted motif characteristic of the period. The elegantly extended spout and finely shaped handle are both realized in thick, faceted glass, designed for pronounced light refraction and a sculptural appearance. The foot is cut with deliberate facets, while the entire jug displays a high-gloss luminosity and rich translucence. The piece is in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.This creamer speaks with the poised tone of an era shaped by restrained classicism subtly enlivened by decorative flair. The layered glass, almost jewel-like, evokes the refined rituals of 19th-century salons, where even the smallest vessel was intended to showcase craftsmanship and play of light. The stately silhouette combines geometric discipline and artistic detailing—reminding one that domestic aesthetics were intrinsic to Biedermeier bourgeois life.A Biedermeier-era jug like this would sit gracefully atop a veneered console or within a display cabinet alongside other period glass or porcelain. It can be paired with clear crystal carafes or simpler glassware to highlight its historic presence. In an eclectic living room, consider setting it against dark woods or textiles in earthy tones, so that its layered colors and luminous surface become focal points for the interplay of light within the space.
