THE SIZE OF THIS ITEM WHEN PACKED EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY INTERNATIONAL POST AND MUST BE SENT USING A COURIER SERVICE IF POSTED TO AN ADDRESS OUTSIDE OF THE UK. IF YOU WISH TO BUY THIS ITEM AND ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UK THEN PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A POSTAGE QUOTATION BEFORE DOING SO.

This is a tall Etruscan polychrome enamelled vase attributed to Harrach and dating from the middle of the 19th century, c1850. Similar vases are shown on pages 179-180 in “From Neuwelt to the Whole World: 300 Years of Harrach Glass” by Helena Bro Kova.

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 7.8 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter at the everted pouring rim which features rubbed gilded bands. The vase is in white "frosted" glass decorated at the neck with a classic design in terracotta and black. The body is enamelled in terracotta with three mythical figures; probably deities. The vase ends in a base that also measures 7.8 cm (3.1 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. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration. There is a collector's sticker to the base.

A nice vase weighing in at 600 g. (~ 1 lb. 5 oz.).

FAQs

The Etruscan Revival movement emerged during the nineteenth century, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan archaeological discoveries. Artisans replicated the distinctive terracotta, black, and white chromatic palettes and mythological motifs on ceramics and glass.

Makers typically employed high-quality glass, porcelain, or earthenware as a base. Decorators applied specialized enamels, slips, and gilding by hand to mimic the appearance of ancient Mediterranean pottery.

Authentication involves examining the material composition, weight, hand-painted details, and potential factory marks on the base. Period pieces often exhibit specific manufacturing techniques, enamel oxidisation, and wear consistent with nineteenth-century production methods.

This piece functions effectively as a striking focal point on a mantelpiece, console, or enclosed shelving unit. Pairing the classical motifs with minimalist modern furniture creates a balanced juxtaposition of historical and contemporary design.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding chemical cleaning agents or submersion in water, which can damage delicate enamels and historical gilding. Keeping the object away from direct sunlight prevents fading of the painted surface.
