Vintage Hofbauer Byrdes lead crystal pedestal vase featuring an elegant bird motif and intricate cut crystal design. This beautiful decorative vase showcases the distinctive Byrdes pattern, highlighted by detailed hummingbird imagery on the body and three sculpted birds perched around the pedestal base.
The vase features a flared, scalloped rim and finely cut geometric starburst patterns that reflect light beautifully. The pedestal stem is accented with three molded birds, a signature design element of the Hofbauer Byrdes collection. The base includes a classic starburst cut pattern, adding additional sparkle and visual interest.
Produced by Hofbauer in West Germany during the late 20th century, pieces from the Byrdes collection are known for their detailed craftsmanship and brilliant lead crystal construction. While many originally carried a foil Hofbauer label, these stickers were often removed or lost over time.
This vase makes an attractive display piece for a dining table, mantle, or curio cabinet and is also ideal for fresh flowers or as part of a crystal collection. Its bird and nature theme makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Hofbauer crystal or decorative bird-themed glassware.
