AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cylindrical flask, circa 1890, in SAINT LOUIS crystal, Nelly Empire model, gilded with fine gold, decorated with an enamel frieze of palmettes, with gold-burnished and amati borders on the body of the flask, a fine gold 24-carat collar, and a diamond-shaped top with a gold star.
Acid-etched to produce a frosted effect of raised leaves; the technique was developed in 1867, and gold leaf gilding with 24-carat gold was introduced in 1890.
Very good condition of the gilding, no chips, the cork stopper's base without any chips, with an engraved number identical to that of the bottle's base, indicating its age and origin.
Bottle height: 14 cm
Ø: 5.5 cm
