Hi and welcome

I think it is more likely to be Bohemian 19th century - maybe mid/second half 19th century?
Possibly Harrach.

OK THANKS FOR THE INFO

You are welcome

Actually I think it might be more mid 19th century.

I would need to get some books out over the weekend and have a good look through to see if I can find any reference sources for you.

What a beautiful piece.....the etching is just lovely!

[Paul S.]

this doesn't appear to be flashing, might it be wheel engraved rather than etched?   perhaps KAVANY will tell us.   -   but certainly a great piece, and am I reading correctly - 9 inches tall?

Paul it is wheel engraved not etched.
It's not flashed.
It is cased clear over ruby glass.

[Paul S.]

thanks m  -  I can see (I think) that the 'stem' is clear over ruby, but my eyes seemed to be telling me the bowl was the opposite - such that the engraving was creating a clear image  -  but I'm wrong then?            I thought, typically, that colours were cut to clear to create a 'white' appearance to the engraved decoration.
It must just be that the matte surface reflects light differently and gives an illusion of whiteness, with this piece.
