The ensemble comprises a tall baluster vase with a flared rim and foot, flanked by a pair of pedestal bowls of slightly varied height, lending a subtle sense of movement and individuality. The ruby-stained crystal is finely worked with burnished gold scrollwork, delicate white and pastel enamel blossoms in relief, and dotted accents that catch and reflect the light. The luminous pink tones shift beautifully with changing light, moving from warm rose to deeper ruby hues. The set is in very good condition, with light rubbing to the gilding and a few minor enamel losses, and no visible chips or cracks. Unmarked.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis lavishly enameled and gilt glass reflects the Rococo Revival taste of the Belle Époque at the turn of the 20th century. At that time, Bohemian workshops, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now the Czech Republic), exported richly ornamental wares throughout Europe, prized for their jewel-like tones and opulent decorative finish.\nComplete mantel sets from this period are prized for their symmetry, craftsmanship, and richly colored glass.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Placed in a sunlit setting, the glass and gilt catch the light beautifully, creating a warm, eye-catching focal point. Arrange the set symmetrically with the vase at the center and the bowls flanking it on a mantel or console or distribute the pieces throughout a dining room, with the vase holding a branch and the bowls presenting fruit. Alternatively, place them in a bathroom to introduce a note of refinement while holding soaps, jewelry, or small personal items. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003ePedestal bowls measure approx. 6¾\" high x 8¼\" diameter at widest.
