Victorian Opaline vases with enamelled floral sprays
« on: March 20, 2013, 12:09:21 PM »
Two small late Victorian opaline vases decorated with enamelled floral sprays.

The top rims have been originally gilded, although much of the gilding has worn away. The bases have a ground and polished pontil mark.

Measure approx 4.25 inches tall and have a rim diameter of 2.5 inches.

Fairly heavy for their size weighing 320 grams each.

I suspect either Bohemian or English/Stourbridge. All views welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
Greg

My guess would be Bohemian or even home decorated, as in Victorian/Edwardian ladies doing a bit of craft on UK produced vases.
