An elegant authentic antique vase from the late Victorian / Napoleon III era, crafted from delicate, semi-opaque milk-white opaline glass. This charming soliflore features a traditional baluster shape with a bulbous lower section and a slender, elongated neck. The front of the vase is beautifully hand-painted with a vibrant central pink flower surrounded by detailed soft green and grey leaves. The neck is adorned with smaller hand-enameled red blossoms, while the flared collar and circular foot are enhanced with a distinctive sponged brown-gold decorative trim. A delicate, romantic piece of antique glassware, perfect as a subtle accent on a mantelpiece, vanity, or shelf in a vintage-inspired interior. Condition: In very good antique condition. No chips, cracks, or structural restorations. There is minor, authentic age-related fading to the hand-painted enamel and gilded trim, which certifies its antique origin and adds to its character. The base shows a traditionally smooth ground finish. I provide tracking number. Thank you for visiting my shop.
