Antique Victorian Harrach Passion Flower Glass Vase Colorful Hand Painted Frit
This unique Bohemian hand painted art glass vase depicts a gorgeous blooming Passion Flower vine that extends around the vase. Blown of custard coloured glass with a satin finish. Pillow shaped form with flared crimped rim. Hand painted with vibrant polychrome colours has an added frit texture like sand.
Not sure if this is finely ground glass frit or if this is actual sand. One of a kind discovery to behold, imo. Never seen this style of artistic decoration on glass. Sand painting is called Marmotinto. Last photo is of another vase I had a few years ago and it had the same passion flower design.
Polished pontil on the applied colourless satin glass footed base. The rim is 7-1/4" x 6" diameter, and the base is 6-1/2 diameter. Best offers and questions are graciously welcomed! This item is in the category "Pottery & Glass\Decorative Pottery & Glassware\Vases".
