About this lot

Origin: European Style

Medium: Hand-Blown Glass, Enamel And Gilt Decoration

Dimensions: Approx. 3 x 4 x 12.5 in. (turquoise vase)  3 x 3 x 4 in. (Cobalt candlestick holder) 

Condition: No visible chips or cracks. Some gilt decoration is worn.

Additional Information:  Antique Bohemian Style Enameled Glass Epergne Horn. Late 19th-century style trumpet-form glass epergne horn in turquoise or celeste blue glass. The flared form has a hand-shaped pie-crust or pleated ruffled rim edged in gold-colored decoration. The exterior is embellished with raised enamel floral motifs in blue and green with extensive gilt ornament. The combination of turquoise glass, ruffled rim, floral enameling, and gilt decoration is consistent with late 19th- to early 20th-century Bohemian decorative glass. Similar forms were produced by European manufacturers including Harrach and Josephinenhütte, although no definitive maker’s mark is provided.

Vintage Cobalt Blue Gilt Glass Chamberstick. Hand-blown cobalt blue glass chamberstick or finger candlestick with a broad circular drip tray, raised candle socket, and applied loop handle. The vessel is decorated with hand-applied gold-colored botanical and foliate ornament extending around the central body and saucer-shaped base. The applied handle and irregular glass with bubble inclusions are consistent with hand-blown production. A pontil mark is present on the underside. The overall decoration is associated with European and Middle Eastern gilt cobalt glass traditions, although a specific origin has not been established.
