A large 19th century Bohemian overlay green and white glass vase with gilt highlights, circa 1860.
Bohemian overlay glass is a traditional glassmaking technique originating from the Bohemia region, now part of the Czech Republic. It features multiple layers of coloured glass, typically with a clear or contrasting overlay. Artisans intricately cut, engrave, or etch the outer layer to reveal the underlying colour, creating stunning decorative patterns.
Known for its vibrant hues and detailed craftsmanship, Bohemian overlay glass became highly popular in the 19th century and remains a prized collectible today.
