Topic: 19th century, probably Bohemian, overshot glass large footed vase with gilding

[flying free]

I was very excited to find this at the weekend  
stands 20cm (8") tall by 9cm wide at foot and rim.  The foot is completely hollow right up to where the bowl is joined on top and has a flat polished rim, bevelled edge on both inside and outside.

I'm a huge fan of overshot glass and I have particularly coveted some of these pieces on a certain website for a long time. I would have  loved Paul's Nautilus shells  ( linked below for future reference)   I believe they are from a similar era and also probably Bohemian and  they are remarkably similar in style to my goblet.  However this is a good second best    It sparkles brilliantly under lighting and is in fantastic condition and with no dirty patches.  

So, this is my new addition to 'my favourite pieces'.  I have found Spanish and French overshot pieces ( and some that are mentioned as 'Victorian English' but I wasn't sure they actually were) but none are the same somehow as this.  Bohemian feels right although I can't be 100% sure.

Keith it's not a glass I don't think. The rim (the bit painted gold) is slightly narrower than the body of the bowl and at 8" tall by 3 3/4" wide you'd be pretty drunk after one glass lol.  It may be a 'chalice' type thing, but I think it is just a vase.  The overshot is not 'over' crackle but it has 'crackled' slightly so possibly rolled in shards then blown out very slightly afterwards.

8 inches tall! may be a tad much for a large scotch

I need one of these to match this if it is a glass Keith    ...actually I need one of these even if it isn't a glass

There are one or two items there similar to yours, still no luck with attribution though.

Thankyou!! I remembered Max had some glasses but I could not find the thread for love nor money yesterday.
I thought they had been id'd as French? but I've found some Clichy pieces, and I thought the foot looked different so went off that idea...but that's not to say they couldn't be French I guess

there is 'La Cristallerie de Clichy' book available online in limited viewing, but having been through I cannot see anything definitive that would link mine.
There are references to overshot glass - 'Cristal Granite' (with an accent on the e) on pages 159,140,154,184,186,187.
