A hand-blown opaque frosted white glass vase, produced in the style of 19th-century Bristol glass. The vessel is of cylindrical form, featuring a flared and crimped rim above a stepped pedestal base. The central body is decorated with hand-applied floral motifs in a palette of white, blue, yellow, and brown, depicting daisies and other wildflowers amongst grey stylised foliage. A further small floral sprig is located on the base. The underside displays a characteristic snapped pontil mark. Base diameter approx. 9.5 cm (measured in inches against a ruler). Condition: The vase is in fair condition. There is an accumulation of surface dirt and grime, notably within the folds of the rim and around the foot. The hand-painted decoration shows areas of minor wear and loss. The piece is free of any visible chips, cracks, or restoration.
