44.000 Ft
Skip to product information
An absolutely stunning and high-quality centerpiece bowl crafted by the renowned Ajka Crystal Factory of Hungary. Ajka is internationally celebrated for its mastery of the "Cut-to-Clear" (or cased glass) technique, producing crystal for luxury brands like Tiffany & Co. and Waterford.
This is not a light piece of glass; it features a desirable heavy weight of 1350 grams, giving it an incredible presence and a deep, resonant tone when lightly tapped.
Detailed Craftsmanship & Design
This bowl exemplifies classic crystal cutting techniques:
Ruby Red Flashing: The most striking feature is the brilliant, hand-applied Ruby Red Flashing on the exterior. This process involves coating the clear crystal with a layer of colored glass, which is then meticulously cut away to expose the clear crystal beneath in stunning, sharp patterns.
Star-Cut Panels: The red flashing is applied to four large panels, each featuring a gorgeous star-burst cut that catches and reflects light brilliantly.
Intricate Cuts: The clear crystal sections feature deep, decorative patterns around the body, adding sparkle and texture to the piece.
Sturdy Base: The bowl stands securely on three clear, sturdy crystal feet, raising it slightly for an elegant display.
Perfect for Display
This bowl is ideal for use as:
A lavish fruit bowl or sweet bowl on a dining table.
A stunning, light-catching centerpiece on a sideboard or mantelpiece.
A decorative trinket or vanity dish.
Condition & Origin
Condition: In Very Good Condition. There are no chips, no cracks, and no damage to the crystal or the ruby flashing. The bowl appears new or gently used.
