Author Topic: Anyone recognize this vase? (Read 942 times)

I do not remember seeing anything even close to the following. This vibrant yellow over white cased glass 11 1/2" vase with a 3 1/2" base has an enameled top in shades of red, gold, and moss green. What appears to be a splotch of white on the base, is actually a bit of white glass. For some reason it looks European to me, perhaps 1920's era. Any suggestions as to age/origin will be greatly appreciated.

Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the album with a close up of the enameling and a shot of the base.

Bohemian perhaps?

Thanks Anne. Perhaps you can tell me. Was there ever a period where 20th century European glass showed a middle eastern/Turkish or Moorish influence? There is something about the shape and decoration on this piece that reminds me of photos I have seen of decoration from Byzantium and/or the Alhambra.

I agree with Anne

Paul, it was this topic which made me think possibly Bohemian as the decoration seems to be of the same ilk:
