Ok where to begin- I know this is Bristol Glass- I am told it is late 1870s-80s- cannot confirm- it is handmade- milky white opaque- the gold leafing on the top ruffles is done in oil paint by hand- the body has an actual oil painted portrait- if you will - of beautiful white flowers- this is actual oil paint not a decal- not fired- it is smooth all over- some very slight wear because of its age- but the paint is perfect on not worn at all- you can feel its thick strokes- it sits on my desk so I can keep an eye on it- it is a piece to be admired
