ABOUT PRODUCTID 13770
The vase from Kamenický Šenov is an example of 19th-century Czech glassmaking, remarkable for its expressive color and richly articulated detail. Made from transparent honey-amber glass of high clarity, it combines a geometric, faceted rim with the oroplastic technique—relief, gilt floral motifs of roses and foliage, precisely arranged around the vessel’s broadest section. The splayed, cut upper edge and refined gloss underscore the skill of both the glasscutter and decorator, while the faceted base segments capture and refract light, accentuating the depth of amber. An original signature or label placed near the rim further confirms the authenticity and provenance of this piece. The vase is in excellent condition, free from visible damage or significant traces of wear, a rarity among objects of such age and quality.The form and ornamentation recall the fin-de-siècle love for intricate embellishment and the ceremonial rituals of daily life. The vase channels the subdued voice of an epoch when the art of the table demanded visual splendor: the gilded botanical designs seem like a paused garden tableau arranged in a pool of amber light. The precision of the faceting and the hand-applied ornament suggest both technical mastery and a flair for the theatrical decoration of the late century—its form refrains from excess, instead quietly revolving towards the light, unveiling successive layers of sculptural detail.This piece may be displayed on a veneered walnut console or an oak sideboard, where the grain of the wood meets the shine of glass
