Antique Hand-Enameled Green Glass Cup & Saucer
Bohemian / Central European, c. 1890–1920
Description
This refined antique cup and saucer set is crafted in richly colored emerald-green glass, adorned with delicate hand-applied enamel decoration and gilt detailing. The cup features a translucent green body with a finely executed gilt band and stylized floral enamel motifs in white and soft pastel tones. The matching saucer echoes the same decorative language, with concentric gilded rings and enamel floral medallions arranged in a balanced, symmetrical design.
The glass exhibits the subtle irregularities expected of hand-blown production, including minor air bubbles and gentle variation in thickness, consistent with late 19th to early 20th century Continental glassmaking. The gilding retains strong presence with light, age-appropriate wear, enhancing authenticity without detracting from presentation.
This form and decoration are strongly associated with Bohemian (Czech) or Central European workshops, where luxury enameled glassware was produced for export to Western Europe and the United States during the Belle Époque and early Edwardian periods. While unmarked—as is typical for this class of glass—the quality of execution, palette, and stylistic elements align closely with Bohemian traditions rather than later souvenir or mid-century wares.
An elegant example suited for collectors of antique glass, cabinet display, or refined tea service presentation.
