Antique Bohemian Amber stained and engraved Crystal Milk Jug
c.1800-1850
Handmade in Bohemia
H10*13*6cm
This is an amber-stained and engraved crystal, crafted in the Bohemian region during the early 19th century. It features a traditional pattern, meticulously acid-etched onto its surface. The glass contains uranium, causing it to fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light in a dark setting.
The intricate urban patterns on the crystal are a result of a detailed acid etching process. There are traces of repair on the handle interface.
Bohemia has a rich tradition of glass-making, having produced glassware for European nobility since the 16th century. This piece of glassware is a typical 19th-century Bohemian style.
