Mary Gregory Style Blue Frosted Glass Bud Vase

This item is a decorative bud vase fashioned in the mid-19th-century 'Mary Gregory' style, characterized by white enamel decoration on a colored glass body. The vase features a vivid cerulean blue color with an acid-etched or frosted finish that gives the glass a soft, matte translucency. Its form consists of a narrow, elongated neck transitioning into a bulbous, pear-shaped base, finished with a delicate crimped or ruffled rim. The primary decorative element is a hand-painted white enamel 'silhouette' of a young girl in Victorian-era attire, shown in profile while picking flowers in a field of grass. The delicate linework in the painting suggests the traditional Mary Gregory aesthetic, often attributed to the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company or Bohemian makers. The condition appears fair to good; there are visible smudges and surface grime near the center of the vase, and a slight darkening of the enamel in certain areas, likely due to age or handling. The ruffled rim appears intact without major chipping. While no maker's mark is visible in the image, the craftsmanship and specific shade of blue suggest a 20th-century revival piece rather than a mid-Victorian original, though it remains a fine example of specialty glassware production.
