Some of the glasses manufactured in Italy by Salviati were then sent to Bohemia for decoration, Ludwig Moser, initially a refiner only. Manufactured glass from 1893. Johann F Hoffman (1873), Josef Hoffman (c 1920), Wolfgang Wersin, Alexander Pfohl (1920s). Company went bankrupt 1933, but survived & was nationalised after World War II. Lubos Metelak (1962). Ludwig Moser executed many patterns for other manufacturers and continued to do so till the second WWW. This by Moser is based on a characteristic lace from Venice il Merletto di Burano. I posted in the last picture an example of this lace work, taken from the web site of the Museum of Merletto di Burano. Burano is an island from the Venice lake.
The lidded box is most probably a sugar bowl, in CW there are one of this set published in cobalt blue glass https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/258879-enamel-lace-cobalt-glass. Salviati used this pattern also over porcelain cups over cobalt blue, done with an Italian porcelain marker https://www.east2westfurniture.com/products/rare-antique-testolini-salviati-cobalt-blue-and-white-porcelain-gilt-tea-cup-and-saucer-set-10-sets-available . All this sets seems to be from around 1920.
In this case, the glass has a unique color a greenish blue tone; I tried to catch it exactly and thus is why a picture is with flash and the others without. The glass is thick and heavy, no pontil on the base.
Enjoy this curiosity, an thank a lot for loving and commenting in advance.
That's amazing painting.
Gorgeous deep color & lovely lace
My oh my! What a treasure, Sylvia. Your bowl has the most amazing enamelling I have ever seen. Also you've given us so much information to go with it. Thank you.
Never seen anything like it before. Stunning beauty!
kivatinitz, Wow. :-)
I can't quite make out the needlework techniques used in the pieces displayed on your bowl, but the one on the tabletop is pretty classic machine-darned lace that emulates filet crochet work.
As the free-form piece from the Museo del Merletto, it looks like it might be a combination of different techniques.
The picots look like tatting, but that one circular piece and some of the more solid sections look like crochet work.
Here are a couple of other Museo del Merletto pieces that just gobsmack me):

racer4four, Newfld, sklo42 and keramikos thanks for your kind and interesting comments.
Most excellent work
Keramikos, yes the tablecloth is an industrial and plastic, that picture was taken when the piece was in the house of the lady to whom we bought it. The other the four picture is the one that is the characteristic Burano lace, my mother had one a gift of her mother in law that bought it in venice 53 years ago while she was on trip. She had complained about the price but as she was an expert in needlework she said that work deserved it. I will post something about her in the future. Thanks indeed.
