The globes are finely engraved with trailing grapevine and foliate motifs, cut through the rich ruby flashing to reveal the clear glass beneath, a technique associated with the celebrated glasshouses of Bohemia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePossibly Austrian or Bohemian, circa 1900\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"845\"\u003eElegant in proportion and sculptural in form, the stands were likely intended for the display of hats, headdresses, or other fashionable accessories.
