Description
Pair of antique French hand painted opaline glass vases by Baccarat
French, Mid-19th Century
Height 39.5cm, diameter 15cm

A striking example of 19th-century French artistry, this refined pair of amphora-shaped vases originates from Baccarat, the esteemed glass manufacturer celebrated for nearly 300 years of exceptional craftsmanship.

Each vase features a delicately painted scene depicting colourful birds resting gracefully on slender branches. Executed in rich hues of red, green, orange, and blue, the birds are rendered with exquisite precision, drawing the eye to the naturalistic beauty of the composition.

Surrounding the central motif, finely detailed borders in cobalt blue and lustrous gold showcase intricate geometric patterns, complemented by gilt floral embellishments that add an extra layer of decorative sophistication. The base and foot of each piece are further enhanced with slender gilt bands, bringing a sense of unity and elegance to the overall design.

Masterfully crafted and visually captivating, this decorative pair makes an ideal statement piece for collectors of European glass or those with an appreciation for finely executed, nature-inspired design.
