This rare and beautifully matched pair of antique Bohemian turquoise glass tumblers carries both the charm of 19th-century European craftsmanship and the story of careful family stewardship across generations This particular pair comes with a history of thoughtful preservation. Because this luminous shade of Bohemian cerulean blue is so rare, the family of the original collector had a small edge flake on one glass professionally polished and smoothed by a specialist. This careful conservation ensures the piece remains stable, safe to handle, and beautifully balanced within the pair—reflecting just how deeply it has been cherished and protected over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in the classic \u003cem\u003edécoration à la neige \u003c\/em\u003e(snow decoration) technique, this exceptional pair features enchanting, hand-painted white layered enamel silhouettes of a young girl on one tumbler and a young boy on the other. They are a true facing pair, intentionally created to gaze toward one another when displayed side by side. The enamel artwork features rich, layered highlights that give the silhouettes a soft, tactile, three-dimensional depth against the glowing turquoise glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tumblers reflect the finest qualities of late 19th-century Bohemian glassmaking: thin, mouth-blown turquoise glass with a softly paneled form, tiny air bubbles that speak to their hand-blown origins, and smoothly polished, ground pontil marks on each base—a subtle signature of authentic hand craftsmanship. \u003cspan\u003eA rare and beautifully matched companion pair, they are a wonderful addition to your antique glass collection and they will be admired every time the light catches the glowing turquoise glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMeasure 2-7\/8\" x 3-7\/8\"h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector’s Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-end=\"1619\" data-start=\"1404\"\u003eWhat sets this pair apart is the quality of early Bohemian craftsmanship.
