Victorian Ruby Glass Portrait Vase

A striking Victorian ruby glass vase dated circa 1880, featuring a richly coloured ruby body with applied gilt decoration and elegant twin loop handles. The front is adorned with a finely executed portrait medallion of a young woman, framed by an intricate decorative border.

Raised on a gilded pedestal base, this decorative vase exemplifies the opulent style popular during the late Victorian period. The combination of vibrant ruby glass, extensive gilding, and hand-painted portraiture makes it a particularly attractive piece.

It stands 38cm tall x 18cm wide.
