White Milk Glass Vase with Dragon Relief - 24 cm

We present an example of a vase made of white milk glass, characterized by a complex sculptural motif.

The molding technique allowed for the creation of detailed reliefs that emulated more expensive materials such as ivory or soft-paste porcelain, making them highly valued decorative objects in bourgeois interiors.
