BOHEMIAN? VASE WHITE CUT TO RUBY AND HANDPAINTED

(1/1)

vanmann:
Any thoughts on this 11 cms vase. I am guessing Bohemian but would be interested to know if a maker could be traced. White overlay cut to ruby/cranberry and handpainted decoration.
Thanks John

Ekimp:
This style of beaker or becher (rather than a vase) has probably been made by many factories over many years, I doubt you’ll find a factory. Yours looks reasonably fresh? I think the style of decoration of white cut through with enamel floral decoration originally dates from around 1850, see Harrach book page 143 and 147.
