Antique Bohemian miniature aperitif or spirit mug featuring a clear etched glass body mounted in a richly decorated gilt metal cloisonné-style enamel frame. The mount is adorned with intricate scrolling floral motifs in deep red, cobalt blue, emerald green, ivory, and turquoise, outlined in raised gilt detailing that creates striking dimension and contrast.

The cylindrical glass insert is finely etched with geometric lattice and stylized foliate bands. A gracefully formed scrolling gilt handle completes the design, giving the piece both functionality and decorative elegance.

Small enamel-mounted glasses of this type were produced in Bohemia and Central Europe during the late 19th to early 20th century. They reflect the period’s taste for ornate table accessories that blended fine glassmaking with elaborate metalwork.
