English Bristol Glass is smooth to the touch and opaque due to the inclusion of tin oxide. Originally made because the blown glass could so closely resembled porcelain. Hand decorated with enamel paint, this particular vase depicts a forest scene completed with flowers and birds. Rim and foot both feature very delicate light pink bands. Nicely polished rim. Blown in two pieces: vase and foot. On bottom is a painted 7. Stands apprx 17"H x 5-1/4" D, at mouth.
