Baccarat French Glass Vase Escalier De Cristal Gu Bronze Ormolu Mount Japonisme
L' ESCALIER DE CRISTAL BACCARAT GLASS GU / ZUN VASE CARVED E. ENOT BRONZE ORMOLU MOUNT FRENCH JAPONISME. THIS RARE AND SUPERB, CARVED CRYSTAL AND BRONZE GU / ZUN SYLE VASE MEASURES APPROX. 11 1/2" HIGH, AND 11/ 1/2" ACROSS THE HANDLES.
13 HIGH, WHEN PLACED ON THE CUSTOM MADE WOODEN BASE. THIS IS THE LARGER, MORE RARE, OF 2 SIZES KNOWN TO EXIST IN THIS DECOR; THE SMALLER VERSION IS APPROX.
THE VASE IS BY MAISON BACCARAT, FOR L'ESCALIER DE CRISTAL. EUGENE ROUSSEAU ALSO PRODUCED A GLASS VASE IN THE SAME KUN / GU SHAPE AS THIS ONE, WITHOUT THE CARVED DESIGN, AND WITH INTERNAL, MOTTLED, GLASS DECORATION, WHICH WAS OFFERED IN THIS SAME MODEL BRONZE BASE FOR L'ESCALIER DE CRISTAL. THE BRONZE BASE IS BRIGHT, AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE CRYSTAL VASE HAS NO CHIPS OR FLEABITES TO THE EDGES OR TOP. THE VASE WAS MADE INTO A LAMP SOME TIME AGO AND A CENTER HOLE WAS MADE IN THE GLASS AND BRONZE, TO ACCOMMODATE THE LAMP FIXTURE, SEE PHOTOS #11 & 12.THE CUSTOM WOODEN BASE, (PHOTOS #1-5), THAT WAS BOLTED TO THE VASE, IS A PRECISION FIT. IT IS NOT BOLTED TO IT NOW, BUT I'VE LEFT IT UNDER THE VASE, BECAUSE IT SUITS IT BEAUTIFULLY, AND IS AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY MOUNT. PHOTO #6 SHOWS THE VASE W/O THE WOODEN BASE UNDER IT.
IN THE INTERIOR OF THE GLASS VASE, ONE CAN SEE THE BOLTED CENTER'PIPE' FOR A LAMP CORD. I HAVE NOT REMOVED THE BOLT TO EXAMINE THE GLASS OR BRONZE BASE, AS THE OPENING IS VERY NARROW, AND I DO NOT WANT TO RISK CHIPPING OR CRACKING THE GLASS. THIS IS HEAVY, AND WILL BE DOUBLE BOXED, WELL INSULATED AND INSURED. A SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED WITH THIS ITEM. 3 PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, AND REVIEW THE PHOTOS FOR DESCRIPTION.
