Its deeply saturated color instantly commands attention, glowing beautifully in natural or ambient light. Adding to its charm is an intricate, hand-painted raised enamel design that feels both delicate and dimensional to the touch.

Across the body, a graceful dragonfly hovers among blooming flowers and leafy stems—each element rendered with fine Victorian detail, highlighted by subtle touches of white and gilt accents. The raised enamel decoration showcases remarkable craftsmanship, suggesting the work of an accomplished late-19th-century decorator. While unmarked, its style, glass quality, and enamel technique are strongly reminiscent of English Victorian glassmaking, possibly by one of the lesser-documented decorative studios of the era.

Standing approximately 12 inches high and 4.5 inches wide, this elegant piece balances a refined silhouette with the romantic natural motifs beloved during the Victorian period. The matching domed lid, topped with a finial accented in gold, completes the profile and enhances its presence as a display piece. Good antique condition, there are two small chips, one the rim at the top and one to the rim of the inside lid. Some wear/loss to the gold paint accents. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

A stunning example of period craftsmanship, this cobalt enamel vase is perfect for collectors of antique glass, lovers of Victorian décor, or anyone looking to add a touch of historical artistry to a mantel, console, or cabinet display. Its dimensional, hand-painted details and luminous blue body make it a true standout. See less
