Cobalt Blue and Gilt Floral Vase

This is a decorative vase, likely made of glass, featuring a striking cobalt blue color with extensive gilt (gold-colored) decoration. The vase has a classic, somewhat bulbous shape, gradually narrowing towards a distinct neck and then flaring out at the rim. The manufacturing appears to be skilled, with smooth curves and a glossy finish suggestive of quality glasswork. A prominent feature is the wide band of bright gold that encompasses the upper portion of the vase, including the rim and the upper part of the neck. Below this, two fine gilt lines encircle the body, delineating the decorated area. The main body of the vase is adorned with an intricate floral and scrollwork design in opaque gold, showcasing detailed craftsmanship. The pattern consists of stylized flowers and swirling tendrils, arranged symmetrically around the circumference. The base of the vase also features a gold-painted ring, indicating attention to detail throughout the piece. Observations suggest it is in good condition with no apparent chips, cracks, or significant loss to the gilding, though minor wear consistent with handling or age may be present upon closer inspection. The style suggests it could be from the mid-20th century or later, possibly an ornamental piece for home decor. The reflective quality of the gilt sections suggests a metallic application. The vessel is intended for ornamental display or holding flowers. The overall aesthetic is one of elegance and decorative appeal, drawing heavily on traditional ornamental motifs.
