This substantial Bohemian crystal vase is a statement piece, with a sweeping trumpet silhouette and intricate 500 PK cutting that catches the light from every direction.
Radiating starbursts, pointed star medallions, and alternating panels of fine crosshatching and diamond lattice cover the body. A precisely notched rim crowns the wide opening, while a thick, faceted circular foot gives the vase a beautifully grounded presence.
Weighing an impressive 8.25 lbs/3.74 kilograms, this is a centerpiece with substance as well as sparkle. Elegant on a dining table, console, or entryway chest, it is equally captivating with a generous bouquet or simply standing in the afternoon light.

History of the Maker
Although the individual maker is unidentified, the vase features the traditional Bohemian 500 PK cutting design. Associated with Czech crystal craftsmanship, this elaborate decoration combines radiating stars, geometric facets, and finely worked panels to create its distinctive brilliance.
Ways to Use
Fill it with roses, hydrangeas, or an abundant seasonal bouquet for a table that feels like an occasion. Its flared mouth also lends itself to an airy arrangement of flowering branches.
For an out-of-the-box idea, display it empty on a mirrored tray or near a window, where the cutting becomes the decoration. During the holidays, a loose arrangement of evergreen branches makes a festive alternative to a conventional centerpiece.
