Aurum Crystal Hand-Cut Lead Crystal Vase

This is a fine example of a hand-cut lead crystal bud vase produced by Aurum Crystal of the Czech Republic. The item features a classic fluted trumpet shape that flares significantly at the scalloped rim, tapering down to a central knop or globeshaped connector, and resting upon a radial-cut circular foot. The body is intricately decorated with deep geometric hand-cut patterns including hobstars, cross-hatching, and vertical mitre cuts that create high brilliance and light refraction. The glass is clear and colorless, indicating a high lead content characteristic of premium Bohemian glassmaking. Notable features include the sharp, crisp edges of the cuts and a decorative scalloped rim that follows the flow of the external patterns. An original diamond-shaped blue and silver foil 'Aurum Crystal' label is visible on the base, alongside a smaller circular gold 'Hand Cut' sticker, confirming its provenance and manufacturing method. In terms of condition, the piece appears to be in excellent contemporary state with no visible chips or clouding, maintaining a bright clarity throughout. The craftsmanship reflects the traditional glass-cutting techniques associated with early to mid-21st-century Czech crystal production, prioritizing weight, clarity, and precision.
