19c Bohemian Cut Cased Glass Mantle Candle Luster Ruby

Glass : By Maker : Czech Bohemian

 

Great mid 19th century candle/mantle prism luster from Bohemia. Sharply cut and faceted with deep cased cranberry/ruby coloration....great deep color. The stem has some cut stars and decorations as does the flared top. There are expected very small pings and flecks from prisms dinging the center, but overall this is in truly excellent shape. No cracks, distracting chips, or repairs. This dates to about c1850. A truly hard to find decorative example! Measures 7 1/2" tall which is about 4 1/8" diameter. Prisms appear all original and in very good condition with expected flea bites and small chips.
