Fascinating Fun Facts:
• Bohemian glassmakers have produced enamel-decorated glass since the 16th century, rivaling Venetian glass in technique
• The raised white dots are built up in low relief before firing, a technique distinct from flat enamel painting
• The twisted clear handle and stopper are rigaree — applied glass trails crimped by hand while molten
