ABOUT PRODUCTID 12625
This Biedermeier platter from 19th-century Czech Republic is crafted from clear, cut crystal with striking clarity and a mirror-like cool sheen. Its oval form is framed by a finely scalloped, delicately undulating rim, where precise notches create a decorative yet restrained edge. The centre of the bowl features a finely engraved starburst motif, softened by the glossy, light-reflecting crystal. The characteristic harmony of proportions, transparent material, and minimal ornamentation are hallmarks of Biedermeier aesthetics, where understated elegance met everyday usefulness. The crystal surface is cool and smooth to the touch, with a slightly sharper texture along the cut border. The platter displays visible surface scratches and gentle dulling of the finish—clear evidence of age—yet remains structurally sound and free of secondary repairs or alterations; its worn condition is entirely consistent with its era.The piece resonates with the understated voice of the Biedermeier era, when utilitarian objects were elevated to small works of art and lent a quiet rhythm to middle-class interiors. The cool crystal catches and scatters light in subtle displays—echoing a time of calm gatherings and unhurried afternoons in the 19th century. The tooth-like rim and central rosette express a preference for stylish simplicity, focusing on fine craftsmanship over lavish decoration
