Large Ruby Flashed Glass Bowl with Ornate Silver Overlay

Large Ruby Flashed Glass Bowl with Ornate Silver Overlay A large and richly decorative ruby flashed glass bowl with ornate silver overlay, dating to the late 20th century. Of continental European origin — likely German or Bohemian — the bowl features an opulent Rococo-style design with silvered foliate scrollwork applied in high relief around the interior and base. The ruby red glass, likely flashed over clear, gives a deep and vivid tone, dramatically offset by the bright silver decoration. The outer base is fully covered in silvered repoussé-style detailing that echoes the interior motifs, making the piece striking from every angle. Impressive in scale at 40 cm diameter, this centrepiece bowl is ideal for display or use as a fruit or decorative serving piece. Offered in very good vintage condition with minor wear to the silver overlay in places, commensurate with age and handling. Dimensions: Diameter: 40 cm (15 ¾ in) Height: 8 cm (3 ⅛ in) Condition: Very good condition. No chips or cracks. Minor rubbing and age-related wear to the silver decoration in one area as shown.
