Large BACCARAT Tournament Etched Cameo Enameled Art Glass Vase c. 1900 16Tall

Welcome To The Antique Cabinet. This tall cylindrical crystal vase is truly a piece of art executed in multiple techniques including cut, engraved, acid etching and finished with fine gold gilt highlighting.

The scene cut into the crystal depicts two. Knights on horseback, the Duke of Bourbon facing the Duke of Bretagne - taken from the "Livre des tournois" by René d'Anjou, which the illustrations are attributed to Barthélemy D'Eyck, dating from the 1460's. It further enhanced with cut clovers and finely detailed coats of arms & scrolling designs. Upon extensive research, we were able to find only a few pieces of this rare glass. A smaller example of this vase can be referenced in the "Giuseppe Cappa, Le Génie Verrier de l'Europe" glass book no.
