Description
This exquisite centerpiece is a rare masterpiece of
Bohemian High Enamel glass, a testament to the opulence of late 19th-century European craftsmanship. Bathed in a deep, regal cobalt hue, the vessel features hand-painted floral bouquets and intricate 24K gold scrolling, meticulously raised to create a tactile, luxurious finish. Its elegant, elongated silhouette and "jeweled" geometric facets capture the light with a timeless brilliance, making it not merely a decorative object, but a high-value heirloom for the most discerning collector of antique vitrine art.
The Mastery of Layering:
1- Core Crystal: A base of pure, heavy lead crystal for structural clarity.
2- Opaline Overlay: A milky white glass layer used to create the luminous "windows" and cameos.
3- Cobalt Casing: The signature rich blue layer that defines the piece's regal character.
4- Raised High Enamel: Hand-applied mineral pigments that give the flowers their 3D texture.
5- Gilded Finishes: Final layers of liquid gold fired onto the surface for a radiant, antique glow.
Height: 37cm.
