Vase - Bronze - ♡ No Reserve

Grand Clear Perfume Vase in Bleu Cobalt Crystal by Sèvres, circa 1880, with Cut Bronze - Signed GB - France, 19th Century

Exceptional perfume vase in Sèvres crystal (or in the style of the famous crystal works), dating from the late 19th century, enhanced by a luxurious gilded and cut bronze mounting in the Transitional Louis XVI style.

The spirit and the quality of the "Bleu de Sèvres": The Sèvres Cobalt Crystal: This vase bears the factory’s emblematic color: an intense, luminous, and deep cobalt blue, inseparable from the finest Sèvres creations. The body is mouth-blown crystal, a demanding technique revealing the perfect purity of the material.

A High-Vaerbry Work of Origin: A precious testimony to 19th-century French glassmaking art, the base of the vase presents a beautifully milled and cupped pontil. The underside also bears an authentic era patina with micro-scratches of legitimate age.

The Signature "GB": The reverse of this polished base reveals the monogram "GB" finely engraved at the tip, corresponding to the master glassmaker or workshop that crafted the mounting.

Ornamentation in Cut Bronze: The crystal is enhanced by a two-tone high-quality bronze mount. The neck is accented by a twisted beaded collar and a laurel frieze sashed with ribbons. The bronze socle, delicately molded, reinforces the object’s neoclassical elegance.
