Anew arrival this week it was a very pleasant surprise in the add it was 13 cm but on arrival 13 inches!
The quality of the painting is amazing lots of little details . on custard glass not milk .
There is a foil sticker on the inner base which reads " The Irresistible Antique and Arte Shope " the spelling leads me to believe a US retailer .
I' d love to know where and when they existed .
Also who do you think made or decorated it ???
OMG!!!! ...IT 'S FANTASTIC!...:-)
Its very very beautiful!!!
I've been struggling with new computer to get the pix right
thanx guys & gals
Gorgeous!!!
I'm wrapped in it .
I saw it and knew it was yours, Marty!
Ta ! Cobba xxxx
OMG!!!! BEAUTIFUL!
Beautiful-- looks like a lot of glass that I have seen IDd as Harrach. Any markings (numbers) on the bottom?

Thanks Aldo and Alfredo Scott & Leah and all for the loves ..
I like it to be Harrach the quality sure is there . there is a faint mark on the base that I can imagine to be the remainder of a Harrach mar but know is just wishful thinking .
Lear , House rule is I have to sell so I can buy .. so I've managed to get rid of some things I no longer need . and lucky to find some I can afford . I won another piece that I'll post but it arrived with an enormous crack from top to bottom , the seller came good and refunded my money and said keep the vase . it was their bad packing that caused it .. sob ...
That one would definitely outshine whatever flowers you might put in it!! Love it....
toolate2 , it needs no flowers but may get game enough to try some soon as Spring is here !!!
Thank you all for the loves !

scott

Thanks much marty-- how are the photographs? Lots of color plates included?

Hi Scott lots of colour photos , but you can imagine covering 300 years of production there are lots more that one would like to see ... It would be imposible to fit it all in one book I guess a terabyte of hard drive space might do it !
The book puts the production into historical perspective .
I still have not finished reading it cover to cover ... bl***Y life keeps interfering ...but have perused all , and love it! I have a passion for Harrach...
Marty I have my one which is very similar... you have seen it :) Have you checked yours under UV light yet? Mine glows very bright :)
Missed this one ozmarty, beautiful!!:)
I just fell inlove so beautiful it's something that could go into any home you are so lucky to own it. Sorry to here your other peice is broken. The other day I thought I was going to save a huge hand painted Asian vase only to find out it already had a big chunck already been briken & peice was no-longer about
Harrach - that's my story and I'm sticking to it :)
Hi Ozmarty,
This is stunning. So beautifully painted.
