This is a very large and heavy vase. It has the gilt smudges applied before the enamel decoration on both the brown and the cream parts. This is my second Harrach vase with this effect. The enamelling is thickly applied giving lovely texture.
There is loss of gilding to the handles, which speaks to its age, but that is its only flaw. Otherwise not even a scratch. There are complete Harrach codes on this one.
Height 31 cm/12.25 inches
So impressive! Amazing to also have the detailed numbering!
More impressive in real life as the images all look the same size here. Though oddly, and quite unplanned, the image of the neck of the vase does help. The lower code is the shape and perhaps Michelle will know what the top code relates to.
bellísimo, so beautyful indeed I would love to see one in real life
What a beautiful vase! I don't think I have ever seen this decor before. The flowers are set off beautifully against the deep colored neck and base; I really love this one, Peggy. The code is a classic Harrach decor code. If you found another vase, perhaps in another shape or size but with the same decor on it, it should have the same code, in my experience.
kivatinitz, I hope you do see one and perhaps own one as the enamelling is fine and there are many shapes.
Thank you Michelle, I was confident that you would know! There'll be another question along later:)
