Bringing to mind the new blooms of spring, this 19th century “Bohemian” wine glass is decorated with pink lustre, gilding and polychrome enamels. When used in reference to glass, “Bohemian” is often used to describe 19th-century faceted, engraved, and bright colored vessels that were produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, now parts of the Czech Republic. The glass, along with 7 others like it, was donated to The Drexel Collection by Mrs. Albert J. Nesbitt in 1963.
