Vase c. 1830 - 1850

This emerald green glass vase, made in the Czech Republic by Glassworks Harrachov, dates back to the mid-19th century. The vase is decorated with intricate gold-painted designs depicting a figure in a landscape with palm trees and other flora. The intricate geometric patterns and the gilded accents create a sense of elegance and grandeur. It is an example of the skill and artistry of Bohemian glassmaking during this period. Bohemian glass, known for its high quality and innovative techniques, was highly sought after throughout Europe and beyond. This vase, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of this craft.
