AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional antique Saint-Louis crystal piece, dating from before 1936, when the manufactory did not yet consistently acid-etch or engrave its crystal. As a result, this example is unsigned, which is entirely consistent with authentic Saint-Louis production of the period.
Designed originally as an elegant ice bucket, its timeless silhouette also makes it a magnificent vase for fresh flowers or a refined decorative centerpiece. The crystal displays the outstanding clarity, brilliance, and craftsmanship for which Saint-Louis has been celebrated for generations.
To further demonstrate the authenticity of this model, I have included photographs of a matching Saint-Louis bowl from the same pattern, previously sold from my collection. That later example bears the official Saint-Louis signature, confirming the design and providing an excellent reference for collectors.
Excellent antique condition with only light, age-appropriate signs of use. No chips or cracks.
