This is a charming pair of small vases I won on eBay AU a few days ago. These had several watchers, & I had a nervous week waiting for the auction to end, but luckily I was the sole bidder.
The vases are made from a very dark purple glass with an intense iridescent finish. They measure 12 cm tall, 4 cm across the incurved, crimped top rim, & 5 cm across the base, which has a polished out pontil mark. There is attractive enamel decoration of flowers.
Bother vases are marked on the base 109 S.85.
I believe these are by Ferdinand Von Poschinger Buchenau.
Circa 1900.
They look very well with your garden. Time was I would have been SO envious. Now I just love that they will fit so well with your collection.
Beautiful things and the paint is still in wonderful condition, so many of these have been cleaned a bit too aggressively.
So much appreciated, Peggy, that is a lovely sentiment!
Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, in amazingly good condition for their age!
Congratulations !!!!
Thanks so much, Kevin! So thrilled to have scored these!
