A striking vintage Bohemian-style ruby glass decanter featuring beautifully detailed grape clusters, leaves, and curling vines cut through the rich red surface to reveal the clear glass beneath.
The rounded body rises into a long, elegant neck decorated with vertical cut-to-clear panels and geometric detailing, finished with a deep ruby rim. The combination of rich jewel-toned glass and frosted grapevine decoration gives this piece wonderful old-world character and makes it especially beautiful when light passes through the glass.
This form was originally made as a decanter. The original stopper is no longer present, so today it also displays beautifully as a decorative bottle or vase.
The piece is unmarked. Similar examples are associated with Bohemian/Czech glass production, but no specific maker attribution is being made.
Details
Bohemian / Czech-style art glass
Ruby red over clear glass
Cut-to-clear and etched grapevine decoration
Bulbous decanter form
Approx. 9¾–10" tall
Approx. 5" wide
Stopper is not included
Maker: Unidentified
Likely early-to-mid 20th century, possibly earlier
Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-related wear to the ruby surface and decoration visible in places. No obvious major cracks are apparent in these photos. Original stopper is missing. I’d inspect that inside neck/rim very carefully with your finger and flashlight before we finalize the condition statement because old decanters often have tiny inner-rim chips from stopper use.
