AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I’m selling a beautiful, unique and very magnificent crystal vase from the renowned French manufactory Saint Louis. Founded in 1586 in Münzthal (French: Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche) in Lorraine, the glassworks is the oldest glass producer in France and the first producer of cut crystal glass in continental Europe.
In 1767 the glassworks became the Royal Glassworks thanks to the royal seal of Louis XV. To this day the company specializes in producing crystal glass items, both luxurious and utilitarian.
The finest glass masters ensure the highest quality of products that adorn our lives. All items are mouth-blown, hand-cut and engraved.
The offered vase is made of thick, heavy, glossy crystal glass with decorative facets on both sides. Hand-blown and cut, it features a unique pattern. It is a beautiful example of French artistic glassmaking technique.
The vase is in good condition, without chips or cracks, it only has some light scratches on the base (visible in the photo) and a few on the body.
The vase is original, with a company sticker and a signature on the base.
