Bleikristall Amber Cut-to-Clear Crystal Bell – German Flashed Glass, 8″ Tall
£ 20.00
On offer is a striking amber flashed crystal bell, crafted in the cut-to-clear Bleikristall (lead crystal) tradition. Likely made in Germany or the Bohemian region, this elegant piece combines rich golden amber with finely faceted clear crystal — an eye-catching interplay of tone, sparkle, and craftsmanship.
Standing approximately 8 inches tall, the bell features a faceted handle with subtle panel cuts and a fluid overlay design around the bell’s body, where the amber coloring has been skillfully cut away to reveal clear petal-like motifs beneath. The inner clapper is intact, offering a lovely, resonant chime when rung.
This piece is a celebration of Old World glass artistry — decorative, tactile, and refined — perfect for collectors of crystal or vintage European glass.

🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes:
“Bleikristall” refers to high-lead-content crystal, commonly produced in Germany and Central Europe during the 20th century. This amber overlaid style was particularly popular during the 1960s–1980s, reflecting both luxury and precision craftsmanship. The bell is unmarked but consistent with glassware made by Hofbauer, Nachtmann, or similar workshops.
