AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Saint-Louis - Ruby-red double-cut crystal set: fan-shaped vase and matching ashtray - Signed
Description
An exceptional collectible crystal set from the prestigious French manufactory Saint-Louis (house owned by the Hermès group). This set comprises a fan-shaped vase and a matching heavy ashtray, perfectly illustrating the artisanal craftsmanship of the crystal works.
The pieces are made with double crystal—a complex technique that consists of layering a layer of ruby red crystal over a clear crystal, before being hand-cut to create striking contrasts.
The Vase: presents an elegant flared silhouette. The deep waist with vertical bevels emphasizes the ruby's intensity, while the star-cut base provides remarkable stability and light refraction.
The Ashtray: Repeats the same geometric motifs and faceted surfaces, offering brilliant ruby reflections. A very refined piece for the desk or for decoration.
Technical Details:
Manufacturer: Saint-Louis (France).
Material: hand-cut lead crystal.
Colors: Ruby Red and Transparent.
Signature: Each piece bears the 'St. Louis' signature acid-etched (see detailed photos).
Condition: Excellent overall condition. No chips, no cracks. Slight signs of normal use under the base, a guarantee of authenticity.
