Description :
This refined French crystal vase, mounted in solid silver hallmarked with the Minerva punch (indicating 950/1000 sterling-grade silver), is a delicate example of earlyE 19th century craftsmanship. The body is beautifully cut with elongated fluting and stylised foliate motifs, creating a luminous play of light through the crystal. The upper section is decorated with an etched oval pattern, adding a subtle contrast to the deeply sculpted lower part.
The vase sits on an elegant silver base adorned with an intricate frieze of ribbon-and-garland motifs, typical of the French aesthetic of the period. The fine beaded rim and the smooth, flared neck enhance the graceful silhouette of the piece. The crystal is hand-cut, with the slight irregularities characteristic of artisanal work.
This vase is both decorative and functional, perfect as a small bud vase, or as a refined accent on a dressing table or mantel. A charming collector’s piece showcasing the excellence of French silversmithing and crystal work.
