This is a great hand-painted piece. The top rim and the sides of the vase have been painted with gold dots and swirls and flowers. Then gold and red jewels (rhinestones) were added to the sides. It’s a very stunning piece. It would be perfect for Valentine’s Day or Christmas. And, it’s pretty enough to display all year long. It is a vintage piece, but it has no nicks, chips, or cracks. It is flashed glass, so it must be hand washed in cool water.
