Baccarat - Vase - Opaline, Bronze

ATTENTION COLLECTORS!
Rare and Splendid Vase / Japanese-inspired Incense Burner in Enamelled Opaline – BACCARAT, circa 1880.

Exceptional and LARGE Vase / incense burner in Japanese-inspired style, in enamelled opaline with a bronze finely chiseled and gilded mount, produced by the prestigious Baccarat Glassworks around 1880 (Napoleon III period / early Art Nouveau).

Sumptuously enhanced with a hand-painted Japanese-inspired design featuring autumn branches, clusters of violet fruits and large medallions in fine gold, including a superb stylized blue-toned medallion.

The gilded bronze mount, of very high chiseling quality, adopts a vegetal motif imitating gnarled branches of Prunus or cherry blossom of Japan, emblematic of the Meiji aesthetics of the late 19th century.

Note that the Vase / Incense Burner would be better suited as a centerpiece or as a vase for dried flowers since the reservoir is pierced. THIS IS THE ONLY FLAW! Nevertheless, it could be repaired.
During washing, the labels have slightly faded (see photos), BUT the other original numbered and stamped elements confirm its authenticity.

Of rare splendor, this Vase can be transformed into a lamp (see photos with light).
