    I grabbed this today. I thought it was bohemian but google tells me it is victorian. 20230415_145749.jpg 20230415_165958.jpg 20230415_170013.jpg 20230415_170006.jpg

    It is lovely.
    If it is 19th century Bohemian, some people would call it Victorian, instead of 19th century Bohemian or even Austro-Hungarian.
    Obviously Victoria never ruled over Bohemia and the Habsburgs did, but there you are.;)

    Okay thanks for the info. I'd be inclined to call it by the name of reigning dynasty in whichever country it came from at the time of manufacture. So Habsburgian it is.

    PS it appears to be missing its stopper. One day I might just find something that is complete and without it cracks in it.

    Victorian in British time, bohemian in origin. Celery handled and enamelled glass.

    I should have added that those are lily of the valley, convolaria majalis. Lovely lovely plants and a very common motif on glass of this type.
