Presented by Ledge Collectives – Is a beautiful, investment-quality late 19th-century Victorian Bohemian cranberry glass water jug / cabinet pitcher. This exquisite piece is strongly attributed to the renowned workshops of Moser Karlsbad (or contemporary master houses like Harrach), displaying the pinnacle of Bohemian art glass craftsmanship.The vessel is masterfully crafted with a heavily optic-molded, square dimpled \"pillow\" body that gorgeously refracts light. The front facade features spectacular, raised hand-painted decoration consisting of vivid blue enamel \"Forget-Me-Not\" flowers and delicate white accent blossoms. These are beautifully tied together by intricate, heavy hand-painted gold gilded stems and leaves that showcase the high-relief styling typical of premium Moser production. It is elegantly finished with a flawless clear applied glass loop handle terminating in a distinct lower prunt, and a striking ruffled tri-corn pour spout.SPECIFICATIONS & ATTRBUTION
