Bohemian Amber Cut To Clear Crystal Chalice On Ornate Bronze Base Appraisal

Bohemian Amber Cut-to-Clear Crystal Chalice on Ornate Bronze Base

This exquisite 19.5cm tall decorative object features a chalice-shaped vessel made of amber tinted crystal, resting upon a highly detailed bronze or brass pedestal base. The glass body is decorated with elaborate deep-hand cutting in a classic 'cut-to-clear' technique, where the amber surface is carved away to reveal the transparent glass underneath. The patterns include large multi-pointed stars (brilliant cut style) framed within a diamond crisscross lattice, separated by fan-shaped palmette cuts. The base is an ornate cast metal, likely brass or bronze with a dark patina. It features a floral calyx holding the glass bowl, leading down to a fluted stem and a tiered circular base supported by three decorative scrolling feet in the Rococo Revival style. The metalwork shows intricate scroll motifs and acanthus leaf details. Based on the craftsmanship and style, this piece likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century (Victorian or Edwardian eras). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks in the glass, and the metal shows a natural aged patina consistent with its age, without signs of modern repair.
