A beautiful antique cranberry glass bud vase, dating from the late Victorian / turn-of-the-century period, circa 1890–1910.

This style was popular across European glass houses in the late 19th centuries, most notably from Bohemian regions or English manufacturers like Stevens & Williams
The vase has an elegant elongated neck rising from a broad, flattened bulbous body, all in rich translucent cranberry-pink glass.
Its surface is decorated by hand with charming blue and white forget-me-not style enamel flowers, complemented by extremely delicate gilt stems and foliage. Fine white dotted swags run around the body, creating an exceptionally pretty lace-like effect when the glass catches the light.
The decoration continues onto the long neck rather than being confined to the body — a particularly lovely detail when displayed.
The vase stands on an applied circular glass foot and displays the subtle irregularities expected of hand-worked antique glass.
This type of enamelled cranberry glass was produced by both British and Continental European glass houses during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. No maker's mark has been identified and therefore no specific factory attribution is being claimed.
A wonderfully decorative survivor and an appealing piece for collectors of Victorian cranberry glass, antique enamelled glass and late-19th-century decorative arts.
