Crafted from heavy 24% lead crystal, each box features the iconic bird-on-a-branch motif, executed using the ruby cut-to-clear technique.
The vibrant ruby red flash is cut away to reveal the brilliant clear crystal underneath, creating a high-contrast, three-dimensional effect. These Bavarian lead crystal pieces serve as perfect vanity or dresser set accents, ideal for storing jewelry or as standalone decorative objects.
Their romantic heart shape and deep red hue make them a standout addition to Grandmillennial or Maximalist decor. This rare pair of West German art glass is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Although the red color is wearing away as it normally would as seen in the photos. See less
