Pair of Bohemian/Venetian Cobalt Blue and Gilt Enameled Glass Vases/Decanter

This lot features two distinct but stylistically similar pieces of glass art, likely originating from Bohemian or Venetian glassworks, given their intricate enameling and gilded decoration. The larger item is a decanter or perfume bottle, featuring a tapering body that flares slightly towards both the base and the top, culminating in an elegant, clear glass stopper. The decanter is predominantly rendered in a rich cobalt blue, interrupted by broad bands of lustrous gold gilding around the neck and the mid-section, which then transitions into ornate floral and foliate motifs in gold, accented with delicate white, pink, and light green enamel work. The smaller item is a miniature vase, sharing the same vibrant cobalt blue base color. It has a bulbous lower body that tapers significantly to a slender neck, flaring out slightly at the rim. This vase also displays intricate gold scrolling and similar floral enamel work in white, pink, and green, suggesting a cohesive set or a related production. Both items exhibit a high degree of craftsmanship, with hand-painted details and an overall sense of luxury. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear in the images provided, though a more thorough inspection would be required to ascertain minor abrasions to the gilding or enamel. The overall condition appears good to very good, indicative of careful handling. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, these pieces reflect the aesthetic preferences of the Art Nouveau or late Victorian periods, characterized by their detailed ornamentation and vibrant color palette. No discernible maker's marks are visible in the provided image.
