AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Antique Bohemian Opaline Glass Vase - Islamic / Ottoman Style - Enamelled & Gilded - c. 1880 (32
cm)
Description:
A beautiful and rare antique Bohemian opaline glass vase in Islamic (Ottoman/Persian) style, dating from the late 19th
century (circa 1870–1890).
During this era, prominent Bohemian glasshouses (such as Moser and Fritz Heckert) created exquisite objects
inspired by Middle Eastern art, tailored specifically for the Islamic market.
Key Features & Technical Specifications:
• Material: Semitranslucent, milky-white opaline glass (milk glass) which beautifully catches the light when
illuminated from behind.
• Decoration: Exquisitely hand-painted with thick polychrome enamel and fine parcel-gilt (gold) accents. The pattern
features vibrant geometric motifs, traditional eight-pointed stars, arabesques, and stylized floral elements.
• Condition: Excellent antique condition. The enamel and gilding are remarkably well-preserved with only very minor
age-related wear. No chips, cracks, or restorations.
• Base: Features a classic rough pontil mark in the center, proving it is an authentic hand-blown piece. It also bears a
handwritten painter's or model mark in orange pigment.
Dimensions:
• Height: 32 cm
