AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large circular coupe of molded-pressed satin glass, with a bold high-relief iris design, of a decorative quality quite remarkable. The composition, perfectly mastered, unfolds three fully open flowers whose undulating petals, deeply veined and subtly curled, develop in an elegant swirling motion. Long slender leaves and supple botanical scrolls extend this spiraling rhythm and animate the entire surface with rare breadth.

The decoration, treated with great sensitivity, stands out against a satin background that enhances its softness and depth, while the brighter reliefs reveal the finesse of the modeling. The broad circular outline, sober and perfectly balanced, frames this floral composition with much elegance and reinforces the monumental presence of the piece.

With its grandiose format, the richness of its décor, and the visual power of its drawing, this rare piece asserts itself as a premier showpiece. A spectacular, refined and highly decorative object, intended for a discerning collection or a grand character interior.
