I've been trying to figure out what and who made this sweet little dish and bowl. It seems to me that it's a finger bowl, and it sure looks like Moser to me. But, it may be Bohemian too. Any ideas?
It is heavily gilded with gold, and very intricate. Excellent condition. AND IT'S VASELINE!!! The saucer is about 4" and the bowl about 3" tall. Very nice, indeed.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

....and it's very cute! Thanks for sharing it!
Definitely European...while very well done, not sure it's the quality Moser is and was known for. I think it's a bit narrow and deep for a finger bowl. Really lovely glass.
Super elegant and fancy.
