Antique crystal carafe from the 1880s: A piece of history in your hand
Over a century ago, in a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were part of everyday life, this exquisite hand-blown crystal glass carafe was created. A sparkling relic from the 1880s, it tells stories of days gone by in every ray of light.
Its unique structure tells of the craftsmanship of the artisans of yesteryear. With a bell-shaped body modelled on a bell, it symbolises the festive sound of old times. The cylindrical neck, crowned by a collar-shaped lug, leads to an expansive mouth that embodies both elegance and functionality.
And what better way to close the container than with a mushroom-shaped stopper that ensures the contents always stay fresh? But this is not just any stopper. With its fascinating star cut, which is also found on the base of the carafe, it offers a visual splendour that is only surpassed by the longitudinally faceted segmented wall of the body.
It is a pleasure to admire the clear crystal structure and the precise cut, which was created in an era when machines did not have the upper hand. Every detail, every facet and every curve speaks of the countless hours invested in this piece by a master craftsman.
Not only as a carafe, but also as a decanter, this piece is a highlight in any collection. With its immaculate condition, despite the many decades that have passed since its creation, it is a testament to the quality and durability of the craftsmanship of its time.
Imagine it gleaming on your dining table, filled with your favourite drink or simply as a decoration that catches the eye of your guests. An heirloom passed down from generation to generation, this antique crystal carafe is not just a beverage container, but a piece of history you can hold in your hands.
