Jugendstil Czech glass. Antique art nouveau. Bohemian Czech. Possibly Moser
Stunning vase in deep cobalt blue glass with a hand painted overlay of 22K gold gilt in a classic art nouveau design. An exquisite example of the Bohemian Jugendstil art movement, and probably Moser, though I cannot confirm.
The base is smooth, possibly fire-polished... Anyhow, there is no visible pontil mark, though I suspect the two little divits seen in photo #6 (the last photo) are all that is left of the pontil mark. Also of note, the base is not entirely flat, it has a small bit of wobble. In exceptional condition, though there is some wearing off of the gold gilt in spots, especially along the neck band (see photo's #4 and #5).
No chips, cracks or breakage. It measures 3" tall and 3" wide, and the mouth is aprox. And another note of interest....
Have seen similar offered, but the painting is not equal... The design is not as complex nor as detailed as this fine piece. The item "Jugendstil Czech glass.
