A jewel-toned ruby-red glass vase with a sculptural, waisted silhouette and a softly flared mouth, finished with a gilt rim and hand-decorated floral reserves. The decoration combines opaque enamel blossoms in pink and white with fine gilt foliage and outlining—an elegant, high-contrast look that reads immediately as Bohemian “cabinet glass” tradition.
Attribution & Period
• Most likely origin: Bohemia / Czech lands (Karlovy Vary/Karlsbad region style), based on the ruby “gold red” body color, the fired enamel + gilding workflow, and the overall decorative vocabulary widely associated with Bohemian luxury glass.
• Maker: Unmarked / not signed so a definitive maker assignment is not responsible. “in the manner of” / “Moser style” (Moser is historically known for high-quality engraved and enameled work and for premium glass production associated with Karlsbad/Karlovy Vary.)
• Date: Best defensible as mid-20th century (circa 1950–1970)
Authenticity & Construction
• Body color: Ruby / cranberry (often called “gold ruby”), a red glass traditionally achieved by introducing gold compounds into the melt.
• Forming: hand-blown (typical for this class of decorative glass; no mold seams are evident in the photos).
• Decoration: Enameling and gilding applied to a cooled object, then fired so the decoration bonds permanently to the glass surface (standard historic/atelier practice for enameled glass).
Dimensions & Weight
• Height: 8 in
• Mouth diameter: 2.5 in
• Base diameter: 2.25 in
• Weight: __________________ (to be added)
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Minor, expected wear/fading to the gilt band at the rim and one floral motif, consistent with age and careful handling.
Placement
This sits in the collector lane for Bohemian ruby cabinet glass: saturated color, refined silhouette, and kiln-fired enamel/gilt work that presents beautifully in a vitrine or as a single-stem vase. Comparable Bohemian/Moser-type cranberry-and-gilt pieces

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 vintage and antique glass 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 a guaranteed maker identification.
