Bohemian Salt Dips Appraisal

Set of Two Bohemian Czech Intaglio Cut Glass Salt Dips

This is a vintage pair of bohemian glass salt dips, featuring one in a soft rose pink and one in a vibrant mint green. Each piece measures approximately 2.25 inches in diameter and is crafted from high-quality pressed and cut glass. The most distinctive feature is the central intaglio-cut design on the interior base, depicting a classical or allegorical figure, possibly a cherub or nymph, rendered with fine detail typical of early 20th-century Czech artistry. The vessels feature an octagonal rim and faceted sides that taper toward the base, enhancing the light refraction through the translucent colored glass. Based on the style and manufacturing techniques, these appear to originate from the 1920s Art Deco era. The craftsmanship is evident in the sharpness of the facets and the clarity of the intaglio engraving. Both pieces exhibit a glossy finish with no visible deep chips or cracks in the primary photos, though minor surface scratches and internal air bubbles consistent with period glass production may be present. These items represent classic European glassware of the interwar period, often used in formal dining settings for individual table service of salt or condiments.
