Description:
This lot comprises two distinct antique and vintage collectibles: a Bohemian Czech ruby red glass decanter set with six matching cordial glasses, and a separate English copper luster pitcher, together forming a visually striking display grouping. The ruby red glass decanter stands approximately 13-14 inches tall with a heavy gilt gold stopper and neck, featuring hand-painted raised enamel floral medallions — white blossoms with green leaves set within oval gold cartouches — surrounded by intricate gold crosshatch and scrollwork decoration covering the body; the six matching shot/cordial glasses (approximately 2.5-3 inches tall) repeat the same gold enamel and raised floral motif with gold banded rims and bases, consistent with Bohemian glassware production from the mid-20th century, circa 1950s-1970s, in the tradition of Moser and similar Karlsbad-region makers. The English copper luster pitcher is a separate piece, likely Staffordshire production circa 1840s-1870s, featuring heavy copper luster glaze over a ceramic body with bold cobalt blue enamel scrollwork banding at the rim and handle junction, and high-relief figural scenes on the body depicting classical or genre figures — a hallmark of Victorian-era luster ware. The pitcher stands approximately 7-8 inches tall with an ornate scrolled handle and scalloped spout. Condition of the ruby glass set is Very Good overall; gold enamel shows minor wear and light rubbing consistent with age, no chips or cracks observed on the glasses or decanter body; stopper appears original and fits properly. The copper luster pitcher shows Good condition with expected crazing and wear to the luster surface, some darkening and spotting to the copper glaze, and minor surface scratches; no chips or cracks to the body are visible in photos but close inspection is advised. Both pieces are highly collectible and would appeal to Colorado antique collectors, estate sale enthusiasts, and decorative arts buyers.
