Difficult to attribute this sort of vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized, from both sides) with any real certainty, as versions of it were made by various companies. The body is white opaline, with gilt and hand-enamelled 'terracotta' decoration, including an upper and lower 'Greek key' frieze. Between them is a hand-tinted transfer-printed design of two classical figures (see detail, below)
Cyril Manley (in his 'Decorative Victorian Glass') shows a vase with similar design (fig. 35), and says that "similar but broken vases were found in a field belonging to Richardson's", suggesting that they were made by the factory. However, it is known that Harrach in Bohemia and other glassworks also made this sort of thing - so take your pick!

A superb late 19th Century vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) from the refinery of Julius Mühlhaus in Haida, Bohemia (now Novı Bor in the Czech Republic). The upper part of the waisted body is hand-gilded and -enamelled with two distinct patterns (shown at lower left and right), each of which is repeated once. The lower part of the body is cut with fifteen panels, which are outlined by hand in black enamel and gilt

A fine early to mid 19th Century tazza (shown considerably smaller than life-sized, from various angles) in pale blue opaline glass, with a sepia transfer of two classical figures in the centre, and with hand-applied gilt and enamel decoration. The base is enamelled 'S' and 'C', which are probably decorator's marks

A very pretty Moser sweetmeat-dish (shown much smaller than life-sized from various angles, and under UV light at top right) in the form of a pale green translucent opaline leaf, shading to a more opaque pink at the edge, which has been scissored all the way around. The upper surface has hand-gilded veining to the centre, gilding around the serrated edge, and a frieze of gilt and black fruiting vine around the top. The underneath is dimple-moulded, with the polished pontil numbered '29/182' and signed 'Moser' in gilt
