Bohemian parcel gilt, enamelled and cut ruby glass decanter

The glass decanter is composed of an oval body with an octagonal, ring-knopped neck. The decanter is covered by a stopper which features a waisted and faceted base with a knop and conical tip.

The decanter is crafted from clear glass which is covered with a ruby red overlay. Its body is cut with oval and circular medallions and wavy panels filled with cross-hatchings. The decanter is beautifully decorated with blue, orange, yellow, green and white flowers and fruits, as well as orange C-scrolls. Gilding is also used to articulate the cut designs and to create decorative geometric motifs.
