Robert Belcher Antiques has dated this Victorian Enamelled Glass Vase to the 1860s.
This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
The body is baluster shaped and balanced with a narrow neck which flares out to the rim.
The vase is exquisitely decorated with a naturalistic scene with a nicely detailed chiffchaff bird dropping down, most likely to a hidden nest into the undergrowth with bright flowers and foliage.
The decoration is extensive, unlike most examples, which tend to have a small front and perhaps a back panel. This is almost continually circulating all around the vase.
The enamelling is beautifully hand painted in bright translucent colours with thick solid highlights, which would have created a lot of work for the artist, as each colour of glass enamel has to be fired separately.
The vase is finished at the top and bottom with a gilt and black lined boarder centered with a string of white enamel beading.
The vase is in excellent original condition with no wear, damage or restoration.
