Topic: Small Bohemian vase?

Are these better?

yes much.  I wanted to compare it to a Mont Joye rose bowl gilding. There are differences.
On the rose bowl there is mostly raised/thick gilding with just a few branches and flowers interspersed, done the 'flat on glass' gilding.  Yours looks to be mostly 'flat' gilding with just the odd leaf and flower done in raised gilding. When I look at the rose bowl greatly enlarged and close up I can't see any brush strokes in the 'flat' gilding which I can on yours.  None of this may mean anything, but I thought I'd post my observations just in case 
I think yours does have similarities with that epergne flute in shape at the top and also in the gilding, but it is difficult to tell. Mind you I had a Jules Barbe decorated Burmese vase in perfect condition and I thought the enamelling on that was hideous   :ooh: so perhaps I'm not the best judge

I have come across this thread again and I just wanted to clarify a comment I made (see quote below) - when I said I thought the enamelling on it was hideous, I was referring to the design, not the execution of the work.  I had a few of these Webb/Barbe Burmese vases, now sold,  I just don't like the designs
