This crystal decanter from the Józefina Glassworks, dating to around 1920, is a testament to the expertise of early 20th-century Polish glassmaking. Crafted from double-layered crystal glass, the piece features a deep raspberry-red (cranberry) overlay, which seamlessly transitions into clear crystal at the base and in the intricately cut geometric patterns. A large, faceted clear crystal stopper crowns the decanter, complementing its cylindrical body, short neck, and wide, flat rim. The proportions are balanced and harmonious, measuring 17 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. The surface is adorned with precise cross-hatching and stylised leaf or spike motifs, characteristic of early Art Deco design, while the glossy finish enhances the material’s brilliance. The craftsmanship is of the highest order, with sharp detailing and smooth transitions between coloured and clear glass. The decanter remains in excellent condition, with no visible damage or wear. This object speaks in the language of Polish modernism: restrained in form, yet lively in the interplay of colour, cut, and light. It evokes the atmosphere of interwar salons, where geometric ornamentation and the sparkle of crystal signified a new approach to everyday elegance. The ruby overlay captures the light, casting reflections across the table, while the prominent stopper seals the composition with a jewel-like accent. The decanter may be displayed on a low console or within
