Tall Moser Polychromatic Enamelled 19th Century Vase C1890

19th century
For Sale by Exhibit Antiques
Description

Technical Description

A truly stunning tall 19th-century glass vase (45 cm) hand-decorated in polychromatic enamels with grasses, flowers, leaves and butterflies. In amber glass, the vase also features raised ceramic applied white and pink flower heads. Circular base.

Comments

The raised ceramic flowers are truly stunning and, in our experience, unique, having never seen another example in this form in over 25 years. Probably by Moser but could be one of the other top-end factories from that period and location such as Harrach. It could also be by Pauly & C. who also designed elegant pieces with raised ceramic flowers from 1866 and stood for elegance, creativity and Venetian luxury.

Date & Origin

Germany or Bohemia c1890.

Condition

Excellent, age-related wear as shown. No chips cracks or restoration to the glass. Some minor loss of gilt and one piece of ceramic flower head missing. Overall, in amazing condition.

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.

Bohemian enamelled glass refers to decorative glassware produced in the historic region of Bohemia, renowned during the nineteenth century for intricate hand-painted enamelling and high-quality glassworking techniques.

Moser glass pieces were typically formed from mouth-blown glass and decorated using raised polychrome enamels, ground mineral pigments, and occasionally gilded accents.

Authentic pieces often exhibit precise, raised enamelling, a polished pontil mark on the base, specific signature marks or catalogue numerals, and notable weight and clarity in the glass.

Position the vase on a mantelpiece, console table, or windowsill where ambient natural light can pass through the tinted glass to highlight the hand-painted enamel detail.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild dishwashing liquid, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers, abrasive pads, or prolonged submersion that could compromise the surface enamel.
