Antique Victorian Harrach Hand Painted Enamel Floral Embossed Glass Basket Vase

  

This stunning and Bohemian art glass basket is a unique shape and is blown of cased glass. The basket is a monumental centerpiece. Nice size and is very heavy in weight. The inside of the basket is dark pink and the outside of the basket is a opal white. Only the opal white colour glows green under a black light. The basket shaped has a embossed pattern of 18 ribs.

The double rolled, crimped rim has a ribbon of amber coloured glass along the ruffled edge. The outside of the basket is entirely painted with beautiful polychrome enameling. The artwork depicts 6 different floral bouquets in vibrant jewel tone colours. The design of the applied (open loop) handle is unique with an embossed rib pattern and is of amber coloured glass. The applied tree trunk base is also amber glass.

Polished pontil on the bottom of the basket. The basket shape is from Harrach. The rim on each side of the basket is 6-1/2 diameter. The base is 4-3/4 diameter. Please be sure to read the condition report in the item specifics, and preview photos.

There is some minor commensurate age wear to be expected. We do have a few rare Victorian baskets shapes to offer. Best offers and questions are graciously welcomed!
