AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

engraved crystal vase, 19th century

Vases attributed to the "L'Escalier de Cristal" company in Paris, unsigned.

quadrangular baluster shape engraved with birds and cherry trees
set at the base in a Japanese-style gilt bronze mount.

L'Escalier de cristal is an old Parisian house created by Marie Desarnaud in 1804.
Famous during the Restoration period, she was the first merchant of her time to offer clocks, candelabras, and ornamental vases that combined cut crystal and gilded bronze.

The crystal staircase at the 1867 Universal Exhibition revived the taste for Sino-Japanese art.
Many pieces of furniture and decorative objects were then made in this style but adapted to European taste.
These vases would be part of the Japonisme productions of the mid-19th century.
