BACCARAT, Pair of Mounted Vases, circa 1878
Dimensions:
Height: 15'' 38cm
Diameter: 5'' ⅞ 15cm
Origin:
French
Status:
Good condition
This pair of vases, with an elegant flare, is characterized by its alternating colors.
This is obtained through the creation of a double crystal, transparent on the inside and red on the outside.
The brilliant red bands are engraved with geometric and floral patterns on the wheel, while the inner layer, released using acid or sandblasting, has the matte appearance of frosted glass.
These vases are set in a gilded bronze frame resting on three elegantly curved legs, finished with balls. Medallions inscribed with the profiles of ancient Greek characters are present at the top and at the base of the frame.
Finely chiseled, the frame follows the shape of the vase, and echoes the upper part, flaring towards the base.
Founded under Louis XV, the French crystal factory Baccarat demonstrated its excellence at Universal Exhibitions throughout the 19th century.
The Baccarat crystal factory also created a bowl on a tripod, of which it still has a copy in its heritage collection. There is a red crystal and a transparent one. Like our vases, it is decorated with classically inspired friezes and rests on a gilded bronze tripod.
