Royal Crystal carafe with royal Danish monogram, 19th century.

Royal crystal carafe with royal Danish monogram, 19th century. Cut crystal with royal crown and initials for King Christian IX and Queen Louise's daughter Thyra, (1853 - 1933), who in 1878 married Duke Ernst August of Cumberlan. Initials for both. Probably from the wedding that was held in Copenhagen.

Height 29 cm. with stopper.

NB: The stopper is probably not original and the carafe unfortunately has significant cracks after a blow. So the carafe can only serve decorative purposes.

A very exciting royal piece!

Princess Thyra, Duchess of Cumberland, married in 1878 Arnst Augst, Duke of Cumberland and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hanover. Thyra was the sister of King Frederik VIII, Alexandra of Denmark, George I of Greece, Empress Dagmar of Russia and Prince Valdemar. After the wedding, the couple took up residence in Gmunden, Austria, where they lived for the rest of their lives.
