A 19th Century Moser Gilt and Enameled Amethyst Compote, with Raised Decoration

Product Description

A Beautiful 19th Century Moser Gilt and Enameled Amethyst Compote, with Raised Enamel Decoration. The upper bowl is beautifully decorated with 24k gilt decoration and finely hand-enameled with raised flowers, leaves, and vines. The bowl and body are further adorned with 24k gilt stipulations creating a riveted effect across the crystal. The crystal consists of a gorgeous amethyst/ruby red color, which beautifully extenuates the thick crystal form and long stemmed body. All around the body and the rounded base are raised white enamel flowers being held by flowering vined leaves. The shape is also unusual, with a wide mouthed top and spout, which extends down a slender stem and rounded base. Moser is well known for creating some of the best crystal objects in the world.
