Holly Crystal Posy Vase

Crystal vase with a hand-cut intaglio holly design recalling 19th-century engravings. The art of intaglio glass cutting, in which the design is carved into the surface to create an image that appears to recede rather than project, was perfected by craftsmen working in the Bohemian and English glassmaking traditions and was considered among the most demanding of all decorative glass techniques. Holly, carrying associations with winter festivals and the promise of life persisting through the cold since pre-Christian time. This petite vase is beautiful seasonal gift for any lover of fine glass or the enduring traditions of the British Christmas.
