Applied Bohemian Harrach Moser Hand Painted Birds & Floral Art Glass Basket Vase

























This stunning Bohemian art glass basket is a unique shape and is blown of cased glass. The inside of the basket is pink and the outside of the basket is a opal white. Only the opal white colour glows green under a black light. The double rolled rim is beautifully decorated with polychrome enameling and gold accents. The artwork depicts pheasant birds perched on a blooming branch with dainty flowers.
The outside of the basket on each side has a colourless applied Acanthus leaf with hand painted gold accents and has surrounding polychrome enameled floral sprays. The design of the applied (open loop) handle is part of the stem of the Acanthus leaf and is crystal clear colourless glass with hand painted gold accents. The applied tree trunk base with pulled drips is also crystal clear glass. Polished pontil on the bottom of the basket. The basket shape is from Harrach and possibly decorated by Moser.
The rim on each side of the basket is 6 diameter. The base is 4-1/8 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!
