SKU: SA1078584

19th century

Sold by The World is Made of Glass Ltd.

Description

This is a large enamelled white glass vase dating from the middle of the 19th century, c1850, and attributed to Harrach Glassworks of Bohemia.

The vase is in excellent condition for its age. This means of course that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 170 years of use.

The vase has a baluster-shaped body measuring 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter at the pouring rim which is gilded to the edge. The bowl is in white opaline glass decorated at the neck with an ochre coloured band. The body is enamelled to one side with the head of a helmeted woman, probably a deity, within a gilded Greek key cartouche. The Greek key decoration is continued in a large medial ochre band and there is also a basal band of ochre decoration. The vase ends in a small foot that measures 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in diameter. It is 11.5 cm (4.6 inches) in diameter at its widest point. The vase is 30 cm (12 inches) in height. The base is decorated with a band of gilding. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration. Some of the gilding is worn. There is no maker's mark. There is a collector's sticker to the base.

A nice vase weighing in at 620 g. (~ 1 lb. 6 oz.).

Provenance: from the collection of John and Poppy Stallebrass
