Welcome to the GMB.

The decoration is known as "Raised enamel and gold" / "High enamel". Mostly from mid-20th century onward. Main producers were "Bohemian". Also made in Murano / Italy.

Lots of these were made with varying decorative motifs.

A couple of other threads on the Board (that still retain active images or links) are:

Enamelled Vase - discussion goes with Murano / Italy

Within a thread on "Bohemia decoration ..." - gives a link to video showing the decoration process (around the middle of the video)
