This is the finest Russian cut to clear overlay/ cased lead crystal, mouth-blown and hand-cut. This set is an example of what the best cased crystal should be, it was made in traditional technology with a deep masterly hand cut through the green overlay. To make a decanter of this size from an overheated crystal bubble and to ensure evenly thick overlay, a few highly skilled people need to work together manually, and any mistake one of them results in the item thrown into the rubbish bin. Items like this are unique, they were never mass produced but only made by a special order. Each of such items has a unique hand cut pattern depending on fantasy and skill of a Russian artisan, the pattern was never repeated exactly the same.

This particular set were made in 2008, last days when the factory worked at full capacity; unfortunately, since that time the production was declined. Cased crystal items look much better in reality than in photos, because photos do not show light playing through overlay and cuts.
