This is a Bohemian green art glass vase dating to the last part of the 19th century, circa 1890.

The vase is 8” high and 3 ¾” wide at the mouth.

The sides are indented in, and each indentation has a hand enameled dragonfly. The mouth is crimped and the rim is rounded. The pontil is round, indented and smooth except the middle has a roughness where the glass rod was snapped off.

Around the neck is a wide band of gold with an overlay of hand enameled flowers and leaves in white and gold; there is a row of white beading above and below the decorative gold band. The body of the glass has leaves, flowers and dragonflies (insects) hand enameled in yellow. The mouth has a gold trim on the edge that shows some wear.

There are no chips, nicks or cracks.
