About the Item

A fine pair of antique Bohemian, white over ruby red hand diamond cut, double overlay glass vases. Further beautifully decorated with 24-karat gold. Each modeled with very elaborate circular bases finely cut with cartouches, and the most beautiful overturning tops. [The technique of overturning two layers of glass as soon as the vase would come out of the kiln is a very difficult task and was only done by the most skillful and professional artist.] Bohemian, mid-1800s.

Magnificent Pair of Russian Imperial Ruby Glass Vases w/ Gilded Bronze Mounts
Located in New York, NY
While Napoleon's armies never conquered Russian, French taste did, and in a big way.
