Large RUBY RED, 36 cm high, Cut to clear Overlay / Cased Crystal Vase, RUSSIA

  
Item: Large VASE FOR FLOWERS, H36 cm, CASED CRYSTAL / CUT TO CLEAR CRYSTAL, RUBY RED. The vase is suitable for both a tall and a wide bouquet, or as a decorative vase due to its stylish shape and relatively large size. The cut pattern of the vase includes elements of so-called "Russian stone cut" where octahedrons cover the entire surface like a pavement. This makes an impression of a very rich cut and is excellent for a light refraction. This is the finest Russian cut to clear overlay/ cased lead crystal, hand-cut and mouth-blown. The vase is actually ruby red (or red wine) colour, not brown-red like in photographs , and much nicer than in photos. Unfortunately, a camera is unable to transfer this noble ruby shade of red. Even more, all cased crystal items look much better in reality than in photos, because photos do not show light playing through overlay and cuts. Material: cased crystal (24% lead oxide) Height: 360 mm (14.2") Diameter: 135 mm (5.3") at rim Brand: Gus Khrustalny, Russia.
