Bohemian ruby red overlay glass services mounted in silvered metal were hallmark luxury tableware items during the Belle Époque. The bold contrast between the deep ruby glass casing, the precise clear-cut facets, and the polished metal pedestal reflects the high level of artistry in late 19th-century European glassmaking.
