Pair of Blue Victorian Opaline Glass Vases w/ Gilded and Cold Painted Decoration

Glass : Antique

 

A shapely pair of eye-popping blue vases that might very well masquerade as a pair of candlesticks on your mantle. The cold painted decoration of grape leaves and vines is punctuated with raised clusters of glowing golden grapes, the gold being a perfect foil for the vivid blue of the glass. Almost periwinkle, but not quite... the color is striking, really remarkable.

Condition is great with a bit of wear to the gold, and a couple of the most minor nibbles to the rim that can be felt more than seen as you can tell from the larger-than-life photo of the top rims. 10 1/2" tall, with a bottom diameter of 4 1/4" and a top diameter of 3 1/4".

I can imagine tiny, yellow oncidium orchids spilling over the tops of these beauties... or perhaps a spray or white roses. You might even balance large golden glass ornaments on the tops for a seasonal display. Have some fun, let your inner designer out to play.
