DescriptionClear cylindrical vase with an oval top pinched into three openings. Attached slightly dome base. Cut flower, leaves and panels.Label TextTHE FINE ART OF ENGRAVING Engraving was another luxurious method of decorating glass at the end of the nineteenth century. The decoration could be shallow or deep and was meticulously crafted on copper-wheel lathes. The intricacy and flexibility of this method was well suited for flowing natural motifs, compared to the rigid geometry of brilliant cut glass.
