This is a Bohemia Crystal Czech trumpet vase in a rich ruby color, made in 1970. The flared mouth and weighted base give it that classic hourglass profile, while the cut‑to‑clear decoration shows crisp fans, ovals, and zigzag panels that sparkle when the light hits. The red overlay is vivid and dramatic, and the clear cuts peek through like ice. It feels substantial in the hand and looks elegant on a table with or without flowers. The surface shows the small quirks you expect from hand work, yet it remains bright, glossy, and ready for everyday display or special occasions.

Bohemia Crystal comes from the historic glassmaking region of Bohemia in today’s Czech Republic, a place known for superb lead crystal and meticulous cutting for hundreds of years. Ruby pieces like this start with clear crystal, then receive a thin red layer colored with gold oxide; artisans wheel‑cut the pattern to reveal the clear layer beneath. The trumpet form was especially popular in mid‑century décor and continues to suit modern spaces. No two hand‑finished examples are exactly alike. Collectors prize the heavy feel, bright ring, and sharp cutting. Care is simple: hand‑wash, avoid dishwashers, and keep sunlight off the color.
