This is an etched glass vase set into a silver holder which has been elaborately embellished with decoration in the rococco style. The glass vase lifts out from the holder and has a graceful flared shape with a pretty scalloped edge at the top. It has been skillfully etched into a delicate pattern of flowers and leaves surrounded by attractive scrolling motifs and lattice work. The 800 silver base features pierced lattice work beneath a beautifully-crafted circle of assorted pierced and floral forms. The piece-de-resistance of the silver work is the ornate holder which consists of a lavish assortment of flowers set amidst intricate lattice work and scrolling forms. This all serves as a background which frames two meticulously-crafted pastoral scenes. The first shows a reclining woman under a tree beside a wall and who is sharing a glass of wine with a standing man dressed in the long formal coat and knee breeches of the 18th century aristocracy. The second shows a similarly-attired man standing by an archway and enjoying the company of a woman dressed in peasant style clothing. These scenes have each been rendered with such extraordinary skill and attention to detail that every element is clearly and crisply defined. The vase is in excellent condition and is clearly marked on the base with the word Germany, 800, and a set of 3 German hallmarks. It stands approx. 15 1/2" tall and would make a charming and delightful addition wherever it is placed.
