Large antique bohemian glass vanity box








 The condition of this unusually large vanity box is remarkable!

Made of what I believe to be Bohemian glass, it stands on four metal legs, and is bound with a brass edge and clasp.
Made well over 100 years ago, the glass is unchipped. There is some discoloration to the finish on the banding that surrounds the opening.
The box is approximately 7 inches in diameter and stands a shade over 4 1/2 inches tall.
Vanity boxes of this shape were frequently used for jewelry boxes and powder boxes. I don’t believe this was ever used as a jewelry box, because the interior is in such good shape.
Made up of an translucent, frosted whitish glass, highlighted with spatters of royal blue, gold and yellow, this rare piece is a stunner!
