Description from the seller
Cornucopia, horn vase in blue opaline, decorated with palmettes and filigree ornamentation in white opaline glass thread and real gold gilding, mounted on a bronze pedestal with a gilded bronze winged female figure of very high quality. Dated to French fine arts craftsmanship from around 1880. The bronze shows at the bottom the maker's signature, but difficult to decipher. The opaline horn bears a slightly yellowed restoration at the upper edge, but is otherwise in good condition. The whole stands 25.7 cm tall, the diameter of the horn is 13 cm. The bronze base measures 12.3 cm by 6.3 cm. The gilding of the bronze figure is in very well-preserved condition.
