ABOUT PRODUCTID 12624
This decorative Biedermeier platter from 19th-century Czech Republic stands as a testament to the precision of Bohemian crystal craftsmanship during a period famed for producing some of Europe’s most desirable glassware. The platter is made from transparent, colorless crystal with notable clarity and a high-gloss finish; light reflects and refracts across its surface, accentuating the elongated, raised radial pattern that segments the piece from center to its distinctly scalloped, softly undulating rim. The edge is shaped with gentle, rounded waves, a stylistic hallmark of Biedermeier, balancing decorative intent with functional proportion. The overall design is regular and restrained, epitomizing Biedermeier’s affinity for symmetry and subtle ornamentation. The crystal is smooth to the touch, likely hand-cut or precisely pressed; minor usage marks—fine scratches, light abrasions—are visible and consistent with age, without significant damage or chipping. The platter’s worn state accurately reflects its material and era.The form of the platter seems to speak of a time when everyday objects carried a quiet luxury—its transparent crystal and radiating lines draw and scatter light, echoing afternoons in South Bohemian parlors where sunbeams lingered on delicately molded glassware. A silent witness to a bygone century, this piece
