Questions about this piece?
This Bohemian goblet, also known as a pokal, is crafted from finely cut and engraved glass. Bohemian glass is renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality and innovative designs, making this antique a highly sought-after addition to any collection.
The upper bowl of the goblet is meticulously engraved with several scenes, quotes, and patterns. It features three circular motifs, each accompanied by an illustration that reflects the quote above it. The intricate engravings include detailed depictions of buildings, facial expressions, and plants, showcasing the impressive craftsmanship of Bohemian artisans.
The three quotes read: ‘nim wohlin acht die redte seit’ (be careful what has been said since), ‘verlaum nicht die gelegenheit’ (don’t waste the opportunity), and ‘sonltwird diezhat zu spat bereit’ (otherwise it will be too late). In between each one is a bowl filled with fruits and plants, possibly symbolising abundance.
The goblet is topped with a cut glass cover, adorned with a band of circles and additional engraved patterns. The cover’s handle mirrors the design of the goblet’s stand, which rests on a flat, circular base.
This exquisite antique combines timeless beauty with functionality, making it a superb decorative piece or a striking addition to any table setting.
