Part of Historic Manor Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

A breathtaking companion piece in the celebrated Bohemian opaline tradition, this exquisite hand-painted opaline glass vase stands an impressive 15 inches tall — a commanding presence that elevates any mantel, console, or collection. The elegant ovoid body flares gracefully into a wide, trumpet-shaped rim, a classically refined silhouette that showcases the glassblower's mastery. The creamy milk-white opaline glass body serves as a luminous canvas for lavish hand-painted embellishment — lush botanical sprays of blue flowers and vivid green foliage trail across the surface with the confident, fluid brushwork of a skilled Bohemian enamel artist. A dramatic cobalt blue and silver cartouche band encircles the neck, perfectly echoing the cobalt blue tones of the painted decoration and anchoring the composition with bold color contrast. The vase rests on a separate cobalt blue glass base plate — matching the style of its companion centerpiece bowl — a rare survival that speaks to exceptional provenance and care.
