AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cylindrical pot cover, 19° towards 1890, in SAINT LOUIS crystal. Nelly Empire gold model, decorated with fine gold enamel and a frieze of palmettes, with gold borders in burnished gold and amati on the body of the bottle, and the top of the lid featuring a gold medallion in 24-carat fine gold.
Acid-etched to produce a frosted effect of raised leaves; the technique was developed in 1867, and gold leaf gilding with 24-carat gold was introduced in 1890.
Very good condition of the gold plating, small chip on the edge of the lid, a rare and uncommon model to have reached the 21st century with its lid.
Height: 4 cm
Ø: 8 cm
