Description

An ovoid-shaped glass vase, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, featuring a frosted white body with a teal-green shaded neck and pedestal base. The body is decorated with a profuse, hand-painted polychrome enamel floral spray, including pink, purple, and white blooms rendered with thick impasto-style application and accented with raised gilt highlights. The rim is finished with a single gilt band. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on the exterior surfaces. The style of decoration and form are characteristic of late Victorian or Edwardian decorative glassware, often associated with Bohemian or English glasshouses.


Condition report:

The vase appears to be in good overall condition, showing minor wear consistent with age. There is slight rubbing to the gilded rim. No chips, cracks, or significant losses to the enamel decoration are visible.
