This pretty pale blue air trap (also sometimes called mother of pearl) handled vase has wonderful delicate enameling; it could be mistaken for Harrach, but the numbering on the base is actually in a style used by Riedel. Air trap pieces by Riedel are not very commonly seen, but I believe this dates to about 1880-1890. It measures just over 6-1/4" (17.8cm) tall.

Apart from all else, so so beautiful, Michelle.
Just from the thumbnail I knew this was yours, Michelle - your impeccable taste is unmistakable!
Thanks so much Peggy! I am so glad you think so! :)
Marin, you are too kind; thank you. You know, the single photograph of the seller's was very fuzzy, but the shapes of the enameled flowers stood out to me as being quite unusual. I was very happy when I was able to see it in person, and it was much more beautiful than I had expected! :)
Isn't it nice when that happens? I love that "wow factor" feeling when something is even better in real life than the photos!
There is something quite magical about this vase..
Thank you, Penny! :)
