ABOUT PRODUCTID 13567
This Biedermeier-era water measure, crafted in the 19th century by Bohemian glassmakers, is a testament to refined craftsmanship from the Czech lands. Its rectangular form with rounded corners and subtly tapering sides embodies the functional geometry characteristic of Biedermeier sensibilities. The Bohemia crystal, rendered in a deep, garnet-red hue with cool undertones, is finished to a high gloss—resulting in a strikingly mirror-like, unadorned surface. No additional decorations or patterns are present, emphasizing the clarity of the design and the sophistication of the material. Noticeably thick walls and crisply finished edges indicate robust, high-quality construction typical of Bohemia’s best 19th-century production. The piece is preserved in very good condition—free from damage, wear, or signs of restoration—which is uncommon for utilitarian antiques of this distinction.The crystal measure seems to recount an era in which simplicity and luxury were not opposites but companions. The saturated ruby red conjures the aura of Central European salons of the Biedermeier period, where refinement was found in the harmony between functionality and beauty. The absence of ornamentation, paired with the purity of colour, allows light to dance on the glass’s surface, revealing depths reminiscent of glowing rubies captured in shadow. Its form expresses serene refinement, as though the measure itself is a discreet witness to the understated rituals of daily life from a bygone age.This piece could serve as a refined highlight on a collector’s desk, complementing silver accessories, crystal decanters, or historic porcelain—creating arrangements
