Bohemian goblet
« on: June 12, 2023, 06:04:14 AM »
Hi ,I picked this up from a boot fair and I’m fairly sure it’s from the second half of the 19th century.What is a bit surprising is how plain it is ?,I’m used to seeing these flashed with colours or engraved…any thoughts ?,does this make it a bit unusual ?

I wonder if it's French, similar ones are shown here in the Launay Hautin catalogue: It certainly has some age.

I'd have also thought French rather than Bohemian.  Have a good look through the catalogue. 
Similar styles were from Saint Louis and also I've seen similar style uranium glass items produced late in the 19th in Russia.

Clichy also produced a similar shape I think but iirc a bit more squat in the bowl. 

I'd search French first not Bohemian

Hi,I thought I’d post this piece on this thread because of the obvious similarities,I’m thinking French and same time period ?It’s 13cm high and I’m not sure if it’s a drinking vessel or small vase ?I’ll start going through the catalogues again…always check out the 50pence boxes !!,it was at the bottom and needed a good delve !

Thanks
