Two small chips inside of lid.
Up for sale is a stunning vintage blue cut-to-clear glass lidded pedestal jar. This elegant apothecary-style compote dish features a vibrant blue body beautifully wheel-engraved/etched with an intricate grapecluster and vine motif.
The clear crystal pedestal stem leads to a wide footed base that is beautifully detailed with frosted floral and leaf etchings. The underside features a smooth, polished pontil, indicating quality craftsmanship.
Based on the styling, technique, and lack of a molded mark, this piece is highly characteristic of mid-century Bohemian / Czech art glass or German lead crystal. Originally, it likely bore a foil or paper manufacturer label that has washed away over time.
