Czech glass hand blown figural decanter

Cold and woozy Czech man figural bottle decanter.

Detailed with a red tipped nose, this Czech man is drunk or cold...or both.  The red nose is not just a red dot on the tip of the nose, it is a spot of rose coloring expertly embedded inside the glass.

Very well made.  The bottle is of thick blown colorless glass with a weighted base to prevent tipping.  Three green buttons and a heavy green scarf is applied to the bottle.  The head is hand-made with exceptional applied details.

The lampwork techniques (applied decor) is in the style of Jaroslav Brychta, world renowned artist and instructor of the Zelezny Brod glass school in Czechoslovakia during the first half of the 1900s.  After the 1950s the Brychta style of glass was made by Zelzno Brodske Sklo until the 1970s.

Circa 1930s to 1970s.  Unsigned.  In excellent condition.

Big bottle measures 8.5" tall to top of head. Weighs 2.5 lbs.  Stopper insert and bottle neck are ground to fit.  Exceptional example of mid-century Czech figural glass.
