Antique Bohemian Applied Pink Opalescent & Blue Floriform Art Glass Basket Vase

  

This lovely Harrach art glass basket. Is truly pretty in pink and the design is a unique floriform form to behold. The mould blown design of the bowl has a embossed floriform shape and the rim is well defined with a petal shaped (hand tooled) form. The opalescent ground colour of the bowl is something to marvel over with the pink colour. The applied Hibiscus flower is the same matching pink colour and is attached to a colourless stem with a "Reeded" decor pattern that also matches the colourless applied handle.

If you look closely at the coloured glass, it looks lightly splattered. The bowl has a snapped pontil, and the bottom of the applied feet that serve as the base are beautifully polished cut. Possibly Harrach, or another fine Bohemian glasshouse. This basket shape design is exquisite and the quality of how it was made is much nicer than most Victorian art glass baskets that were produced for export. Most same shape basket designs came in many different colours and splatter decor variants, and so far, this particular basket shape only came in this colour variant from what has been researched. The rim is 5 diameter. The footed base is 5-1/2 diameter. The wooden base is not included. Best offers and questions are graciously welcomed!
