Bohemian Art Nouveau glass vase by Harrach Glassworks, estimated 1900–1910, satin-finished glass with gilding and polychrome floral enamel.
Description from the seller
Bohemia, attributed to Harrach Glassworks
Art Nouveau vase with enameled daisies and gold-decorated panels
Circa 1900–1910
Glass with a satin surface, gilding and polychrome enamel
Height 35 cm; diameter 9 cm
A slender Art Nouveau vase in glass with a soft colour gradient from light green to amethyst, finished with a fine satin surface. The elongated baluster shape is interrupted by tapering X-shaped panels with textured gilding and light green reserves, decorated with embossed enamel lines and blossom branch motifs. Between these panels, fine gold lines converge into narrow points, from which clusters of enamelled daisies in white, blue and yellow emerge. The combination of matt transparency, precise gold linework and applied floral decoration is characteristic of the North Bohemian decorative workshops of Haida and Steinschönau, closely associated with Harrach in the early twentieth century.
Condition
Very good condition with only minor wear to the gilding. No cracks or restorations.
Origin
Private European collection.

Similar enamelled and gilded vases are documented at Pelikan and Poche, Harrach: Glass from the Harrachov Glassworks 1712–1943, and in the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague.
