Topic: Hi, Painted Urn Vase..Victorian?

[selina]

Hi all,

I recently purchased this vase / urn. It was stated it was 1930's which I doubted, I thought maybe Victorian? It does glow softly green under a black light. I have no idea of a maker either...thinking maybe this was a generic style for that day and age? Stunning handpainting though.
Just over 31cm tall. I'll welcome any comments on it.

 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Oh, that's a really nice one, uranium glass as well!! I think you should send it over here so I can have a closer look  . It could very well be of the Victorian era, this style and shape were certainly in vogue then, but it may be a little later. Continental Europe is a good bet, Bohemia very possibly. I'm not sure anyone knows "who", I haven't seen anything definitive.

What a lovely vase! Congrats, Selina, on a great buy! :clap:
The painting is of very good quality & really visually appealing. The uranium is a bonus, too.
It is Victorian, I'd say later in the period, 1880s-1890s & Bohemian.
This style was made by many manufacturers over a long period. The vases were often in pairs.
This vase, to me, looks like a fine quality example of the style.

Hi Marinka, I think some of these painted vases are French also?  - it was a very fashionable High Victorian style, that can be found on ceramics as well.

Hi Lynne,
Yes, I know that French manufacturers did this type of "opaline" glass with hand painted designs also.
As I think has been said, this style was fashionable for quite a while, & widely made, in the Victorian era.
The quality varies a lot, but this vase looks very good.
I feel that this one is a Bohemian though, due to some very similar items pictured in Truitt's "Collectible Bohemian Glass 1880-1940".

Bohemian 1880-1910 is spot on.

Bohemian 1880-1910 is spot on.

Hi Ivo, can you and Marinka give me some pointers for differentiating between French and Bohemian painted glass please?

thanks!

Thank you all! Great to have a date and origin. I saw a similar one listed as Moser? Very, very similar. Im very happy with the price I paid for it. Under $50Au. A bargain I think.

Chris, if I win Lotto I'll let you know!! LOL
