Description from the seller

An exquisite and highly decorative pair of authentic Boule à Fleurs vases by Saint-Louis, presented in two complementary sizes and showcasing the timeless elegance of French crystal craftsmanship.
The larger vase features a delicate raspberry-pink overlay crystal masterfully cut to reveal the luminous clear crystal beneath, creating a refined interplay of color, light, and brilliance. The accompanying vase, crafted entirely in clear crystal, offers a harmonious contrast while preserving the iconic silhouette of the model.
One vase bears the Saint-Louis signature, while the second is an earlier production example, dating from a period preceding systematic signing, a detail appreciated by collectors of historic French crystal.
Both pieces remain in very good antique condition, displaying only light traces of age and gentle wear along the rims consistent with their history and use. Their remarkable clarity, elegant proportions, and exceptional light refraction beautifully demonstrate the renowned savoir-faire of Saint-Louis.
Whether displayed as standalone decorative objects or used to showcase floral arrangements, these rare vases embody the sophistication, heritage, and enduring luxury associated with one of France’s most prestigious crystal manufactories.
Height — 9.5; 12.5 cm
Top diameter — 6.7; 8.5 cm
Circumference — 36; 47 cm
