Vintage Bohemian Cobalt Blue Glass Small Vase Hand Painted Applied Floral Gold Detail

Bohemian cobalt blue glass vase with gilt and white enamel decoration, most likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. Bohemian glassware (from the Czech/Bohemia region) was the pinnacle of decorative glass during this period and highly sought after across Europe and beyond.

Key characteristics:

• Deep royal cobalt blue glass body — a hallmark of Bohemian production
• Gilt (gold) rim and base foot — applied in the flash-gilding tradition
• White enamel dot work arranged in scallop and swag patterns — a classic Moser-style decorative technique
• Central painted gilt cartouche depicting a Rococo courting scene — a gentleman and lady in 18th-century dress, typical of Continental romantic pastoral imagery
• Baluster form with a flared collar neck — an elegant, classical shape
