Caesar Crystal Black Vase Czech Bohemia Cut Cased Large

SquareTrade © AP6.0

This is a hand-cut cased crystal vase by Caesar Crystal.  The pattern is called “Ice” and is executed in the scarce black color which matches most any decor.  Many of our customers have added it to do dress up their modern kitchens, living areas and collections.   This pattern is very bright and refracts most beautifully.

This piece is heavy and has some minor wear on the bottom from being displayed, thus you get over half off on a piece that is practically new, still with original sticker.   It will come with a certificate of authenticity and I will try to find you a Caesar box for you though it may arrive in a generic box.  This design like many others, was created and is owned by Caesar Crystal.  Each piece is hand made, so the measurements will vary, but this vase measures about 9.5 inches tall and is about 5 inches wide at its widest point. 

Because Bohemia was for decades behind the Iron Curtain, their companies are not as well known in the US, but the craftsmanship as you can see, continues to easily surpass most quality crystal makers. Thus you can be assured that you are buying the best crystal in the world at a very reasonable price and that your investment will continue to appreciate into the future.  As many makers are moving to making cheaper and cheaper crystal, Caesar Crystal continues to uphold the tradition that has made Bohemian crystal world famous.

CAESAR – THE COMPANY - Caesar Crystal is recognized as crafting some of the finest crystal in the world and its pieces can be found in museums and private collections of notable personages. The majority of its patterns are designed in-house and are the property of Caesar Crystal. Caesar Crystal is a small company, but is Central Europe’s largest producer of quality cased crystal whose products are exported around the world. The company owns one of the largest private archives of crystal designs in the world and its artists continue to develop award-winning patterns. The company has been designing and handcrafting quality crystal since 1861.

[WHAT IS CASED CRYSTAL - Cased crystal is made out of two layers of crystal melted together - a colored layer of crystal on the outside and a clear layer on the inside. The outer colored layer is then hand-cut away to reveal the clear layer underneath. Note that the color is added to molten crystal and is then worked. This is the traditional and highest quality way of making two-tone colorful crystal. Due to this technique, each piece is blown twice making it inherently more valuable than similar clear crystal. In addition, be aware that much of today’s colored crystal is made once and painted on the outside, which gives it a tendency to fade over time, lessen its value and look shallow (you can see a lot of it on eBay). When looking for quality colored crystal, ask the dealer for true cased crystal and avoid painted crystal. Cased crystal always appreciates in value and is becoming more rare as companies turn to surface painting.]
