Pair of Bohemian Ruby Cut-to-Clear and Enamel Decorated Lidded Urns

This is a pair of lidded urns, likely Bohemian in origin, crafted from cut-to-clear glass. Each urn features a vibrant ruby red interior that is revealed through expertly cut circular and oval facets on the exterior, creating a striking contrast with the opaque white enamel overlay. The white enamel surface is meticulously hand-decorated with polychrome floral motifs, primarily consisting of pink roses with green foliage and blue accents, running in bands around the body, lid, and base of each urn. Gold gilt accents are present, enhancing the decorative elements and outlining the borders of the various sections, including thin bands around the lid and mid-section. The urns have a classical goblet-like silhouette, comprising a footed base, a waisted stem, a bulbous body, and a domed lid topped with a finial. The finial itself is also enamel-decorated with a stylized pattern, and a rich red color highlights the neck of the finial as well as the cut sections within the glass. Visible condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant loss to the enamel decoration discernable from the image. The gilding seems largely intact, suggesting careful preservation. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of skill in glass blowing, cutting, enameling, and gilding, characteristic of 19th-century Bohemian artistry. The intricate decorative work and the cut-to-clear technique are hallmarks of quality antique ornamental glassware. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The estimated age is likely mid-to-late 19th century, a period when Bohemian glass was highly sought after for its decorative appeal and elaborate designs.
