Vase - Candy Bowl Colored Crystal, NACHTMANN Germany, 1970s.

Original, very beautiful "Small Basket", a vase - candy dish - trinket holder in the shape of a basket, colored overlay crystal, 100% handmade. Produced by the world-renowned German manufactory - NACHTMANN, from the 1970s. The NACHTMANN factory was founded in Bavaria in 1834 by Michael Nachtmann. At the beginning of the 20th century, the factory's workshops moved to Neustadt, where they remain today. In the 1960s-1970s, NACHTMANN became the largest producer of top-quality crystal in Germany. The NACHTMANN concern for a long time united several subsidiary enterprises: "Marc Aurel", "Katharinen Hutte", "Spiegelau". The products of these factories differed in design and in minimizing the lead oxide content in the crystal. In the early 2000s, the product range became significantly poorer. The factory shifted to more economical forms, and interesting items disappeared one by one. In 2004, the shares of Nachtmann Cristal AG were bought out by Riedel Glas. Although the factory still operates today, it has never been able to return to producing the items it made during its peak period. So now, any of its products from the 1960s-1970s, especially those of high quality in craftsmanship and preservation, have automatically become objects of special attention from collectors and crystal connoisseurs, and the value of such items only increases each year.

Exclusive design, handmade work, genuine high-quality lead crystal with a lead oxide content of no less than 24% (PbO 24% - world standard); this lead oxide content increases the refractive index, allowing the crystal to play with all its facets in the sun like precious stones. The exquisite color combination of transparent white and delicate pink, the elegant cut facets — all of this looks wonderfully beautiful, making the "Basket" a splendid decoration for a table or interior. It is multifunctional and convenient to use, suitable for serving candies, nuts, or storing various small items. It looks extraordinarily good in almost any interior, always attracting the eyes of those around. Also currently under the article number - 1675.
