Antique 6” THOMAS WEBB MOROCCAN TAPESTRY Gilded Enamel Floral Glass Vase, 19th C, VGC

Antique ENGLISH Opaline Hand Painted Gilded Floral Glass Vase, made by THOMAS WEBB & SONS, circa 1870-1890, the most famous maker of high quality luxury glass from the late 19th Century to today. The vase is of white opaline glass, overlaid or cased with pale yellow, pink & light blue glass & then superbly hand painted with chinoiserie polychrome enamel panels - enamel scrolling arabesques in light green, pale & mid blue & white with daisy-like flowers of white, blue & orange. The shoulders of the vase have purple dot patterns & the enamelled pattern panels continue on the neck of the vase. Light lines of silvering on the rim, shoulders & near the base of the vase. The overall effect is stunning - this is a top quality example of later 19th C decorative arts, with clear Oriental & Islamic influences in the design. Absolutely beautiful.
