This piece features the "Delphi" decor, combining iridescent glass with applied metallic ornamentation and turquoise blue glass cabochons.
The vase has a bulbous form with a flared rim. The upper section is detailed with hand-applied scrolling and geometric motifs, complemented by raised turquoise cabochons characteristic of the period's interest in ornamental detail and historicism. A charming example of Bohemian art glass from the turn of the century.
