Wow! This piece of art glass should be in a museum! The workmanship is incredible!I'm having a hard time attributing it though. The engraving work is stunning and reminds me of many Moser pieces I've seen. The three green trailings attached to the top are reminiscent of work produced by Harrach. It's obviously Bohemian in origin and it was definitely produced by one of the top producers. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.

Very rare feather painted silhouette vase designed by Adolf Beckert for Friedrich Pietsch. The term "Feather painting" was given to this form of decoration because the artist used a very fine brush to produce these highly detailed works of art. This vase has 4 different panels which feature a man and a women in various "courting" scenes. Each panel was acid etched before being painted. See pages 100-101 of Truitt's "Collectible Bohemian Glass 1915 - 1945" for other examples of this beautiful glass. This vase is in excellent condition with no loss of decoration.
