Description :

This Bristol glass vase, likely from the Victorian era, is characterized by its opalescent white glass and hand-painted floral motif. Bristol glass, named after the city of Bristol, England, where it was first produced in the 18th and 19th centuries, is known for its soft, milky appearance and delicate hand-painted decorations. 

Features:  

  • Material and Color:  The vase is made of opalescent white glass, often described as "moonlit" due to its light-absorbing qualities. 
  • Decoration: It features hand-painted flowers and leaves showcasing the artistry of the period. The painting style is typical of Victorian-era Bristol glass, with detailed and colorful depictions of natural elements. 
  • Shape and Form: This vase has a distinctive shape with a ruffled or crimped edge at the top, a bulbous body, and a slightly flared base. This form is common in Bristol glass vases from the late 19th century. 
  • Age and Origin:  Based on its style and characteristics, the vase likely dates back to the late 1800s, during the Victorian era, although some similar pieces were made in the early 20th century. Bristol glass vases are appreciated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and historical significance. The hand-painted decoration and delicate glasswork make them collectible items, reflecting the artistic tastes of the Victorian era.
