Specimen vase on marble base. Empire style with the lovely. Opaline glass with a tiny hand. Applied ivy leaf decoration on. Either side of each spiral from.
Top to bottom and an gilt line. The bronze Rams head was gold.
Gilded initially (ormolu) but most of. It has now rubbed off but at least. No one has tried to'restore' it by.
Painting it with gold paint like a. Few examples I have seen.
A number of similar examples on. Being by Baccarat as they and. A couple of the other well known. French glass makers are mainly.It's a very nice example and the. Semi translucent Opaline glass is. Overall in good antique condition. With a few signs of age and use.
The gold gilded decoration is worn. On the glass and especially on the. Rams head - see photos.
The wave-like shaped rim of the. Trumpet has been gilded on the edge. Following this design which shows. That two of these'waves' have. Been chipped on their points. Might be a nick off another one. As well - hard to see.I have taken close up of worst one. They are at the back of the vase.
They are not that obvious in. Real life as they all have a. Blunt cut off look anyway. The marble base is in remarkably.
It has only one insignificant flake. Near the lower left corner on the long.
Side when ram is facing to the right. See close up photo - barely noticeable. Other than this the marble has very light. Surface marks as you would expect from. A genuine antique piece but it doesn't.
Even have any nibbles to the slightly. Chamfered edges that I can find and. Amazingly the green baize underneath.
