antique Bohemian ruby flashed cordial or liqueur glasses

These appear to be antique Bohemian ruby flashed cordial or liqueur glasses, featuring an engraved grapevine motif with leaves, vines, and clusters of grapes. The ruby flashed technique involves a thin layer of red glass applied over clear crystal, then engraved to reveal the clear designs against the red background-a hallmark of 19th-century Bohemian glass production. The set includes three similarly sized small goblets and one smaller variant, all sharing the same pattern but with slight variations in shape and stem design, which is common in handcrafted pieces from this era. Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic), where glassmaking flourished in regions like Haida (Novy Bor) or Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) during the Austrian Empire period.
