Late 19th Century Continental Moser Style Blue Opaline Glass Gilded Hand-Painted Butterfly Motif Acorn Shaped Bud Vase

Up for sale is a Late 19th Century Bohemian Victorian Moser Style Opaline Blue Glass Gilded Hand-Painted Butterfly Motif Acorn Shaped Bud Vase! It probably once sat in some sort of stand. It measures 6 1/4" tall. The piece is in excellent overall condition with minor signs of wear consistent with its age and use (scattered light surface wear; some fading to gilding). Please message us if you have any questions. Thanks!

Crafted in Europe during the late 19th century, this Victorian Bohemian opaline art glass piece features a striking pale blue hue adorned with exquisitely hand-painted polychrome enamel butterflies and fine gold leaf foliage accents. A raised white-beaded enamel rim with delicate orange dots encircles the upper shoulder above the distinctive tapered, acorn-form body. Designed with a smooth, rounded base rather than a flat foot, this vessel was originally crafted to rest inside an ornamental gilt-bronze or silver-plated metal stand, a wall pocket frame, or an elaborate centerpiece epergne assembly. The rim features a softly flared neck designed to accommodate small floral arrangements or serve purely as a decorative highlight. An extraordinary example of late Victorian Bohemian art glass craftsmanship, this piece makes a standout addition for collectors of antique Bohemian glass, Moser-style enamelware, or period decorative display objects.
