Hand-cut ruby glass casket from Bohemia, dating to around 1860, during the Napoléon III period. The piece features detailed engravings of forest scenes with deer, dogs and birds, framed by ornate gilded brass mounts. Originally designed to store sugar, later often used as a jewelry box. A refined example of 19th-century European glass artistry blending luxury, craftsmanship and natural motifs.
