    Hi,
    I have this old vase that I'm curious about regarding origin. I was thinking Bohemian. It's a little unusual. The glass is opaque in a jadeite tone of green, but there is some opalescence to it - you can see the gold content when viewing with a light behind it although it's not pronounced. It's decorated with a farm scene that appears to be part decal and part hand painted. Then there's some gold enamel flowers and hand painted leaves. And the bottom has a deep centre indent. I'm thinking 1910s - any opinions?

    Just curious if you put a blacklight on it?

    Yes, I did. No luminescence.

    I thought that the combination of the opaque jadeite colour and the opalescence is a little unusual
