This elegant bud vase possesses a commanding presence, defined by its saturated emerald glass body and an opulent layer of heavy gold gilding. The hand-painted "High Enamel" floral motifs offer a remarkable tactile quality, creating a jewel-like surface that catches and refracts light with sophisticated depth. Its slender, architectural silhouette provides a striking sculptural contrast between the deep green glass and the lustrous, pristine gold finish.
Attribution & Period
Stylistically aligned with the Bohemian "High Enamel" tradition of the 1950s. The execution of the raised enamel blossoms and the precision of the gilded scrollwork are characteristic of premier Czech glasshouses such as Egermann or those operating in the Nový Bor region. The hand-blown construction and refined material quality are consistent with high-end European decorative exports from the mid-century era.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Clinical and direct. The gold gilding is in exemplary condition with no observed wear, which is exceptional for a piece of this age. A stable internal hairline is present at the rim of the mouth; it is contained within the glass wall, does not penetrate the exterior surface, and does not compromise the structural integrity of the piece. Minor surface scratches on the base are present from authentic shelf use.
Authenticity & Construction
This vase is hand-blown, evidenced by the characteristic tool marks and the polished base profile. The decorative application utilizes "Rellevo" enamel techniques, where the pigment is built up to create a three-dimensional floral relief. This labor-intensive process ensures that no two examples are identical, marking it as a piece of significant artisanal merit.
Placement
This piece is best suited for an interior that favors rich textures and saturated colors. It serves as a brilliant focal point on a mantle, a vanity, or a slim pedestal. Given the height and color profile, it pairs exceptionally well with polished brass accents or dark wood finishes in a curated Mid-Century or Hollywood Regency setting.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
