Monumental Pr Moser jeweled Ruby-Red Overlay Two-Piece 24k Gold, Enameled Vases

About the Item

A monumental pair of antique 19th century Moser ruby-red overlay two-piece jeweled and 24-karat two toned, burnished and matte gold vases. Each of these vases are fabulously handcrafted with exquisite detail. Finely applied jewels and colored cabochons decorate each from top to bottom. They are further adorned with 24k matte and burnished gold decoration, bringing another level of excellence to these magnificent pieces. Each vase was made separately in 2 pieces, because in the 1800s, glass of this size could not be fired and blown in one individual section; to compensate for this, the master glaffer would fire two individual sections and combine them into one magnificent piece. This sectionalized design was not only necessary, but functional as well. The lower portion of the vases was used as a secret storage compartment because people would not know that these could come apart. Austria, circa 1890.
