Description

A set of three jeweled Bohemian opaline vases, comprising a central ovoid vase and two smaller flanking vases with handles. Each vessel is crafted from opaque white glass and features intricate polychrome enamel decoration in floral and geometric motifs. The decorative program is heavily accented with gilding and embellished with numerous raised glass cabochons in red, green, and blue, designed to simulate encrusted gemstones. The two smaller vases possess clear glass handles and mirror the ornamental style of the central piece. The undersides are plain and circular with no visible manufacturer markings.
