Victorian Pair of French Hand-painted Black Glass Vases

19th century
Description

These are a pair of late Victorian French hand-painted black glass vases, dating from approximately 1890.

The vases are in excellent condition for their age. This means, of course, that they show some wear and tear to the bases and elsewhere commensurate with 100+ years of use.

The vases are of inverted baluster shape and were blown in black glass. The rims are everted and measure 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter. The vases are hand-painted with flowers in blue, green, yellow, orange and white enamel. The vases are 18.2 cm (7.3 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches, or any other obvious signs of restoration. The bases carry a collector's label.

Each vase weighs in at 410 g. (~ 14 oz.).

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

These decorative vessels were produced during the nineteenth century, primarily in France and Britain, using dense opaque black glass as a canvas for delicate floral enamelling.

The objects were mouth-blown or mould-formed from dark glass, after which artisans applied mineral-based enamel paints by hand before refiring the glass to set the design.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically exhibit minor wear to the raised enamel surface, pontil marks or smoothed bases, and natural variations inherent to hand painting.

They are best displayed as a symmetrical pair on a mantelpiece, console, or sideboard to frame a central mirror or artwork, complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Dust gently using a soft dry microfiber cloth, avoiding submersion in water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners that could lift or erode the delicate enamel artwork.
