This crystal vase, shaped as a boot, exemplifies 19th-century novelty glassware, most likely crafted by a German artisan. Fashioned entirely from clear, colorless crystal with a faintly cool, bluish undertone, it elegantly reflects ambient light. The smooth, high-gloss surface is accentuated by gentle vertical ribbing running from the rim to the tip of the foot, bringing structure to the form and highlighting the clarity of the material. The boot’s anatomical proportions are thoughtfully rendered, featuring a rounded toe, defined heel, and fluid profile. No additional engravings or colored accents distract from the crystal’s clarity and the whimsical, distinctive shape. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of use, no chips, discolorations, or restorations, remaining in its authentic state.The form speaks to the spirit of the late 19th century—a period when craftsmen ventured beyond conventional decorum, introducing wit and surprise through playful details. Its considered shape and the crystal’s cool gleam evoke cabinet displays and collector’s passions of the era. As a relic of carefree artistry, the vase seems to tell a story of lighthearted experiment, where functional objects could amuse without sacrificing artisanal refinement. Subtle vertical grooves catch the light, tracing quiet paths across the crystal within a serene interior.The vase can be placed atop a solid light-wood sideboard or amidst other collectible crystal items, creating a balanced dialogue between antique gravitas and whimsical form.
