In the 19th century, the great Bohemian glassmaking centers (such as Harrach, Neuwelt or Moser) competed directly with French crystal manufacturers to supply the Ottoman market with luxury glassware. Bohemia was particularly renowned for the finesse of its hot enameling and fine gold gilding applied to tinted opaline. Intended for the palaces and wealthy residences of the Ottoman Empire, these imported ceremonial vases perfectly matched the Oriental taste for floral polychromy and the richness of gilded ornamentation.

Our pair of green opaline vases, part of the great tradition of export glassware for the Orient, testifies to the remarkable know-how of Bohemian or French master glassmakers and enamelers, combining the freshness of its hue with the elegance of its ornate floral decoration.
