Mid-Century Gilded Floral Glass Bud Vase

This is a hand-painted glass bud vase, approximately 8 to 10 inches in height, featuring a distinctive bulbous body that tapers into a long, slender neck and sits on a flaring circular foot. The piece is constructed from clear mold-blown glass and is ornately decorated in a classic mid-century style. The central motif is a large, hand-painted flower in a deep burgundy or mauve hue with fine white linear detailing to indicate petal texture. Surrounding the floral focal point are stylized leaves and stems rendered in thick, raised gold-tone paint (likely liquid gold or luster), which shows significant brilliance. The rim and the base are further accented with thick bands of gold gilding. Notably, the gilt shows some light signs of age-related wear and minor thinning in high-touch areas, particularly around the neck. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or deep scratches visible on the exterior surface. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the provided image, the style, weight, and decorative application are consistent with European glass production from the 1950s or 1960s, often seen in West German or Italian imports. The craftsmanship displays a high level of detail in the hand-painted enamel and the consistent application of the metallic accents.
