Victorian Mary Gregory Style Hand-Painted Enamel Glass Vase

This is a decorative glass vase featuring a hand-painted white enamel 'Mary Gregory' style scene of a young girl in a landscape. The vase is constructed from clear, mold-blown glass with a cylindrical body that tapers slightly and rests on a bulbous base. It is notably accented with 'rigaree' or ruffled glass trim applied to the sides in a vibrant translucent green, creating a distinct color contrast. The enameling depicts a girl in Victorian-era attire reaching toward a butterfly, surrounded by stylized botanical elements such as reeds and grasses. The white enamel is applied with varying thickness to create texture and a sense of depth. In terms of condition, the glass appears bright with some minor surface scratches and fingerprints. The green applied trim shows craftsmanship variations but no obvious chips are visible in this view. There is no visible maker's mark, which is common for this style of Bohemian or Continental European glass, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The quality is indicative of mid-tier Victorian art glass, intended for parlor decoration.
