Sevres - Bottega Jacobs - Tray - Crystal - Structured Glass

This refined rectangular tray is an exemplary embodiment of the excellence of the historic French manufacture Sèvres. The piece stands out for an organic and sculptural design, typical of mid-20th-century production, which plays with light refraction through varying thicknesses of pure crystal.

Aesthetic Features and Design

Style: The tray features a modern and dynamic aesthetic. The interior and exterior edges are characterized by broad concave facets (often described as honeycomb or bubbles) that create a visual sense of movement, reminiscent of rippling water or carved ice.

Shape: Rectangular with slightly softened corners. The lateral profile shows a sinuous line, with the base narrower than the opening, imparting a visual lightness to an object of substantial presence.

Signature: The bottom bears the acid-etched signature "Sèvres France," a guarantee of authenticity and prestigious artisanal provenance.

Technical Specifications

The piece is characterized by a remarkable physical presence, a mark of the high-quality lead crystal used:

Dimensions: 31 cm (length) x 20 cm (width) x 6 cm (height).

Weight: 3,070 kg (a substantial weight that underscores its density and value).

Material: Transparent high-refractive crystal.

Condition Report

From the images, the crystal appears clear and free of yellowing or opacities (the so-called "glass disease"). A few signs of surface wear (contact scratches) are visible on the base, entirely consistent with the object's age and its use as a centerpiece or serving tray.

Style Note: This piece belongs to a Sèvres line that favored bold yet elegant shapes, perfect for both Mid-Century Modern interiors and contemporary spaces, where light can highlight the geometries carved into the glass.
