This is an excellent example of a mid 19th century wedding day vase. The detailing on this sets it apart from others you might come across.
You most often see these glass vases in plain white, coloured glass, unfinished or with most of the hand painted detail worn away. Delicate skin and nail colouring, ring detail and gilding, (albeit worn) make this a stunning example. Height 23cm.
Cornucopia was a popular motif in classical Roman mythology to represent abundance, wealth and properity.
