    I hope this isn't too long, I'll only post part of the appraisal.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A Secessionist enamelled and frosted glass pitcher, colourless glass with a frosted body and clear applied handle, the body painted with stylized acanthus leaves and geometrical motifs in gold and white enamel, Bohemia.

    Bohemia was a German-Austrian province which later became Czech Republic and this area is still famous for it's many glass works which produce high quality crystal and glass. Around 1900, the most famous Bohemian glass firm was Loetz Witwe, but there were countless smaller firms working in a similar style so it's hard to pinpoint your pitcher to a specific one.

    Nevertheless a wonderful heirloom in great condition (the gold enamel paint wears off easily so it was probably hardly ever used).

    If this is too long I apologize and will try to remove it
