Bohemian Cobalt Blue and Gilt Liqueur Set

Story

Post-war Czechoslovakia became the global epicenter for luxury glass, blending centuries of royal craftsmanship with mid-century flair. These sets were the height of hospitality, designed for the ritual of after-dinner liqueurs.

Maker / Origin

While many workshops in the Nový Bor region produced this style, the quality of the gilding suggests a maker following the Moser or Egermann tradition. These artisans survived the transition from private studios to state-run collectives, maintaining a standard of excellence that defined European luxury for decades.

Condition & Value

The gilding on the rim appears remarkably intact in the photo, which is rare as gold leaf often wears away with washing. Any chips to the delicate stems or loss of the decanter's stopper would significantly reduce the value. Value is driven by the presence of the full set (6 glasses and decanter).
