$575.00
Exceptional large antique Opaline / Alabaster vase artfully decorated with a classic Japanese woman holding a fan and sword. The grey tone figure and water scene may have been created using a transfer, a process dating back to the 1840\'s. The gilt highlights on the figure, the cherry blossoms and other gilded areas are all hand painted. The vase has a ground and polished pontil on the bottom. Not sure of age or maker. Could be French or it could be British. A gorgeous vase. A stellar addition to any Art Glass collection.
