Beautiful Deep Amber Wine Carafe & Stopper, 1920. Bohemian Czech heavy leaded amber crystal features both wheel-cut and hand engraving techniques.

Overall, the carafe measures 10.75" tall with stopper; 8.75" without the stopper. The body is 4.75" in diameter at the widest point; the bottom base is 3" in diameter. Quite substantial - Carafe weighs almost 2lbs. It is in excellent condition without any chips, cracks or abrasions. It will be packed with utmost care. Bohemian glass, famous for its beauty and colour, has been in production since the 13th century. Czech glass making held its' dominance through the early 20th century and until the Nazi invasion of 1938, when world markets collapased during World War II. This particular design was produced pre-WWII, between 1920 - 1929. I know this specific carafe was made in 1920 because it was a wedding present to my paternal grandparents late that same year. It would make for a wonderful wedding present again! Bohemian Antique Czech Wine Liquor Carafe Decanter Barware Decor
