Exceptional antique glass vase in the form of a sea shell. Made by Loetz in Bohemia / Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) 19th century. Measures 11 1/4 inches tall. Sea shell theme. The vase is a pointed sea shell standing upside down, enclosed in an iridescent clear glass trio of swirling, fluted seaweed that tapers down to the base, in the same iridescent, clear glass that echoes the organic sea creature theme. The main shell is composed of incredibly-coloured and textured glass: depending on the light, the background is in shades of pinks and oranges with raised organic looking ''scales'' in iridescent silvers and golds. All colours deepen, become more metallic looking and shade to blues, depending on the light and angle. The shape is quite luscious - a bowl on top seemingly torn open and curling backwards to show the inside / reverse of the glass. Moulded with bends and twists - all generously rounded. No signature seen. Very good condition with some roughage on the edges of the base, commensurate with the age.

Antique pair of opaline glass bowls, each hand painted with a scene of little animals hunting innocents. Possibly French or English and date to 19th century - about 1880 - 1900. Each bowl is 8 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches high. Bowls each stand on 3 round, gilded feet. The borders are gilded and have a band of superb lilac, which looks very French. Another gold circle encloses the lilac band. Within the bowl is an exquisitely handpainted vignette of animals. In one scene a very naughty looking dog ( Dachshund by the looks of him), is about to pounce on a gaggle of ducklings, who flee to the water, beautifully painted in deep blue in the foreground. Flowers and foliage surround the animals. In the other painting, a sly fox peeps through the long hay in front of which a group of bunnies is nibbling on large leaves in a little clearing. One rabbit with a stalk in his mouth seems to have just caught sight of the fox. Details of both paintings are superb - clearly painted by a masterful artist. They are the height of Victorian cute combined with love of moral tales and very likely these paintings are depictions of a fable or moral story. The bowls are in very good condition. Both paint and gilding look great. One bowl has a fleabight on the rim - so small I couldn''t begin to measure it. No other chips/cracks/damage/restoration of any sort.
