A late 19th century French classical Grecian style glass vase circa 1880
About the Item
This most elegant and pleasing classical Grecian style glass vase was made in France, circa 1880 and was inspired by ancient Greece. It has a tall baluster form stands on a small flared foot and is well balanced with a tall flared neck and plain rim. The vase is made from opaque white glass separated with pale blue overlaid panels with hand painted Greek key boarders. The central section is most striking and bears a classical Grecian soldier in full uniform with spear and shield riding an elaborate chariot which is being drawn by two powerful horses. This printed and hand gilded decoration is very detailed and the gilt elements catch the light and glisten beautifully. The reverse of the vase is plain apart from a small hand painted classical motif. This hand blown vase is finished on the underside with a snapped off pontil from its manufacture.
