Blue Accented Lead Crystal Vase

Blue Accented Lead Crystal Vase — a striking display of color and precision in cut glass. This bud vase features a cobalt blue overlay that has been cut away to reveal clear lead crystal beneath. The bold vertical and diagonal cuts catch and refract light, creating brilliance and depth from every angle. A faceted base grounds the vase while adding balance and shimmer.

This style — known as cut-to-clear — is a hallmark of high-quality crystal production in central Europe, particularly in Germany and the Czech Republic. During the late 20th century, these richly colored overlays became a staple of decorative glassmaking, blending old-world craftsmanship with dramatic contemporary color palettes. Such vases were typically used for narrow floral arrangements or displayed on their own as luminous accents.

Whether added to a crystal collection or displayed as a single sculptural element, this vase offers elegance, craftsmanship, and eye-catching color. Its compact scale makes it versatile for tabletops, vanities, or window shelves where light can enhance its sparkle.
