Beautiful 19th century slender ruby red cranberry Moser hand enameled glass portrait vase with star gold gilt decoration and center white opaline medallion with hand painted portrait of young French style maiden in excellent condition with minor age appropriate wear to the gilt decoration and portrait; size 12" H x 3 1/2" D; produced in Southern Bohemia circa 1865-70. Portrait vases, such as this fine example, were commissioned to commemorate the memory of a loved one and were produced for a relatively short time. They were usually not made after 1880, because of the advent of photography, making them quite rare and collectible.
