Bohemian or ?

I had posted this last year on the PGP board without an id so thought I would give it a try here. It stands about 14" tall with excellent floral depiction. I believe it to be enamel painting.
I want to thank everyone who answered my plea to find a new board!
If I need to resize photos, let me know.

Thanks

From your one picture, it does look like enamel painted over metal. Close ups of the flowers etc would give me a better idea of the quality, from a distance it looks to be very high quality enamel painting. Not cloisonne, but a variation, I cannot remember the name of this style of enamel painting.

Anything of the bottom, would like to see a shot of the bottom too..

 

My bad…did not put glass in the title. Hopefully will remember in the future.

Sorry about the triple pics. will get it right sooner or later and hope sooner!!

Well , surprised myself, got it fixed..

 

I wonder if this glass is what some refer to as black amethyst? I don't know if it is really Bristol glass or not. Hopefully those more inform than me will chime in.

I have looked for the purple tinge and so far, cannot see that it is black amethyst. It is fairly light weight. The sawtoothed narrow mouth for some reason suggested Bohemian to me.
Thanks Antidiem and Susan for taking a look.

Hi Sharon,
Glad you found your way here. Just wanted to say the painting on your vase is spectactular/gorgeous/fabulous.

I recently researched a vase with a similar hollow disk bottom. The conclusion I reached was that these are Czech in origin. I found some marked examples and could find none attributed elsewhere with anything substantive to back up the attribution.

 

I do appreciate your pointing the way along with Cxgal (not sure if that is correct) Greg. I do love the painting on that vase.

Brad, I think you are right. Were the marked examples you found acid etched or labeled? For now, it resides on my shelf that I display a little glass that I really like.

Completely OT - In the Navy & Coast Guard SKC is a Storekeeper Chief. Just wondering about your ID (hubby is a retired YNCS)

 

Nothing exciting just my initials..But it is nice to know what else they stand for.

 

The cut and notched top is typical of bohemian wares, once called Bristol glass. I've seen tops like that in catalogs from the area dating from 1910 or so. The enamel ware is typical of the same area. Its' hard to pin it down, part of it is now the Czech Republic, don't know what else it's called. My understanding is that there were in excess of 20 glass towns, each with several members of the industry, all making similar wares.

 

Thanks Cherryhill, that pretty much confirms what I was leaning towards. Glad to see you here!

I would agree the vase is Bohemian for sure. The hand painted motifs are lovely. Nice enameling. To say who the maker is, it is unknown. Many glasshuttes, such as Harrach for example would sell blanks to refineries to Muhlhaus who did a lot of Mary Gregory motifs.

Also to some up on "Bristol" glass it is region located in southern England and was greatly known for producing "Nailsea" glass. With collecting British glass, when a maker is not known for sure, a region is used to give an idea of where the glass was produced. The Stourbridge region is in reference to Webb, Stevens and Williams, Boulton & Mills and Richardsons for example. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for all the good information Leah!
