Cobalt Blue Cut-to-Clear Bohemian Crystal Centerpiece Bowl

This is an exquisite example of Bohemian cut-to-clear crystal, specifically a medium-to-large centerpiece bowl with a scalloped sawtooth rim. The item is constructed from heavy lead crystal with a deep cobalt blue 'flash' or overlay. The master craftsmanship is evident in the intricate deeply hand-cut patterns, featuring classic geometric motifs including starbursts (hobs), cross-hatching, and fan cuts that reveal the clear, brilliant crystal underneath. The bowl transitions from a dark, rich blue at the rim to a lighter, more translucent appearance toward the base where the light catches the facets. Accompanying the bowl on the shelf are smaller coordinating glassware pieces, suggesting a late 20th-century vintage production, possibly mid-to-late 1900s. The physical condition appears generally good, though there is a visible layer of surface dust and potential minor flea-bite chips common on high-relief edges of such glassware. No visible maker's marks are discernible from the image, but the style is characteristic of high-quality glasshouses such as Val St. Lambert or traditional Czech glassmakers. The cutting is sharp and complex, indicating a high-level of quality and labor-intensive production.
