ABOUT PRODUCTID 12621
This Biedermeier goblet from 19th-century Czech Republic exemplifies the glassmaking virtuosity of its time, balancing classical order with refined geometric detailing. Crafted from clear, hand-cut crystal of exceptional clarity and polish, the slender, conical bowl is adorned with vertical faceted panels that create a rhythm of light and shadow—the hallmark of Biedermeier’s controlled, understated decorativeness. The stem is elegantly profiled, octagonally faceted, and features a decorative knop, smoothly transitioning into a thick, octagonal foot elaborately accented with radiant, starburst-style cuts. Each junction between bowl, stem, and base is crisply executed, highlighting precision workmanship and a sense of proportion characteristic of the era. The transparent brilliance and mirror-like surface reinforce the sense of lightness, while every detail attests to the fusion of utility and ornamentation. Condition is very good: minor, superficial scratches are present and consistent with age, with no chips or damages affecting the aesthetics.The goblet presents a subtle voice of 19th-century Central Europe, celebrating an aesthetic of modest elegance and deliberate geometry. The cool clarity of crystal interacts with shifting rays of light playing across the faceted cuts, evoking interiors of bourgeois homes where each object was both purposeful and meaningful. Its form and ornament resonate with the Biedermeier passion for harmony and the ordered beauty of everyday life. Within its transparency one discovers echoes of the craftsman’s steady hand and the quiet rhythm of salon culture.The goblet could be displayed as a solitary piece in a glass-fronted cabinet or on a shelf in the living room, where
