This crystal cherry was said to be found in a Pittsburgh steel magnate's home. Part of an antique table fruit compote centerpiece, it most likely originated in Czechoslovakia, Italy, or France in the 1800s. In the mid 1850s red crystal was obtained by using 24k gold. That is why red crystal from this era is so rare.
