• Matched pair of vases – rarely found together in such condition

Condition details:

This pair presents beautifully and remains free from cracks, chips, or drill holes. At some point in their history, they were adapted for use as lamps. The interiors have been filled with an expanding foam material, and there are remnants of a lamp screw fitting present. Importantly, this conversion did not involve drilling the glass, so the vases themselves are intact.

For a dedicated collector or restorer, the foam and lamp remnants could potentially be carefully drilled out and removed by a professional, returning the vases closer to their original decorative state. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed exactly as they are, as striking decorative objects with an interesting history and no visible damage to the glass.

Why these vases stand out:

• Collectible maker: Harrach is one of the most respected names in Bohemian glass, renowned for quality and artistry.
• Victorian charm: The c1890 date places these vases firmly in the high Victorian period, ideal for period interiors or curated antique displays.
• Matched pair: Pairs of original antique vases are much harder to find than single examples and offer excellent display symmetry.
• Authentic markings: Maker’s marks add confidence, provenance, and long-term collectability.
• Versatile décor: Perfect for traditional, eclectic, or maximalist interiors, whether displayed empty or styled amidst other fine glass and porcelain.

These antique Harrach Bohemian glass vases are ideal for collectors of:

• Fine Bohemian and Czech art glass
• Victorian decorative arts and period interiors
• 19th-century European glass and porcelain
