an exceptional vintage meissen crystal vase, expertly handcrafted from fine german lead crystal and decorated with a striking cobalt blue overlay, intricately cut back to clear crystal.
the vase showcases superb craftsmanship with a beautifully engraved floral design framed by brilliant hand-cut geometric patterns. The lower section features an intricate honeycomb cut, while the elegant scalloped rim and substantial square foot are finished with deeply cut starburst patterns, demonstrating the remarkable precision associated with meissen crystal.
the rich cobalt overlay contrasts beautifully against the sparkling clear crystal, creating exceptional brilliance as the vase catches the light from every angle. A magnificent decorative piece equally suited to displaying flowers or as a statement object in its own right.
although no factory mark is visible, the design, quality of cutting and decoration are entirely consistent with authentic meissen crystal production from germany.
