This crystal container with lid, crafted in Austria during the 1920s, exemplifies the refined glassmaking tradition of Central Europe in the interwar period. Made of cased glass, the vessel features a clear, cool-toned crystal base accented with deep cobalt blue overlays. Geometric, faceted octagons and starburst motifs are arranged in a dense, intricate cut pattern characteristic of the Viennese style, evenly distributed across the cylindrical body and gently domed lid. The lid is topped with a multi-angled, faceted crystal knob, emphasizing both symmetry and ease of handling. The surface is highly polished and glossy, with balanced proportions measuring 11.5 × 7.8 × 7.8 cm. The overall condition is excellent: no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear, and the finish is pristine and lustrous. The form of this container echoes the spirit of the 1920s, when Viennese glassworks competed with the emerging Art Deco movement. Transparent crystal and saturated blue speak to the aspirations of modernity while remaining rooted in the tradition of precise craftsmanship. The play of light on the facets and octagonal motifs conjures images of historic salons—spaces where ornamentation and daily ritual carried equal weight. Each cut and starburst tells a story of Viennese splendor and the era's fascination with luminosity. This piece
