UNUSUAL ANTIQUE BOHEMIAN ART GLASS FINGER BOWL, CRANBERRY CRAQUELLE / OVERSHOT

Description

Welcome to
Antiques & Moore!
This listing is for a lovely antique Bohemian Art Glass finger bowl in Cranberry glass known as Craquelle or Overshot glass, c.  late 1800's.
Measures  3 1/4" high with a top diameter of 4 1/2".
This stunning bowl has beautiful cranberry coloration with the finish of finely crushed ice. This glass has been popular since the mid-19th Century and was produced by having a gather of molten glass rolled in finely crushed glass to produce the rough exterior finish. The piece was then blown into the desired size and shape. The finished piece has the frosted or ice finish that is sometimes called "ice glass".  Early producers called the glass "Craquelle" although this glass is categorized as Overshot glass. This glass is produced using an entirely different process than the generic category of "crackle" glass.
This lovely bowl
is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
Please note that we also have this bowl available in green Overshot glass (listed separately) that was from the same collection. Please check out our eBay Store for other great items.
