Art Deco Decanter, Six Glasses and Tray by Karl Palda

An original 1930s Art Deco decanter set with six glasses by Karl Palda , set in a chrome and black glass tray.  The design is a striking "lightening bolt" of red and black in high quality Czechoslovakian crystal.  This favorite glass master produced pieces that were ahead of their time with their streamlined, geometric  point of view .

The slightly oversized stopper has glints of rainbow light that bounces off the prism cut and everything looks so nicely finished with the glasses encircling the decanter and nestled in the tray.  We often say that even if you were to have just one household accessory piece to give your home an " art deco" flair, a Czech Decanter Set from the late 1920s-early 1930s  would be  the perfect choice.
