Hailing from Europe’s oldest glassworks—Saint-Louis, named a "Royal Manufactory" by Louis XV in 1767—this rare "Grand Format" vase is a masterclass in Art Deco modernism. In the 1930s, the house’s exclusive "Cristaux d’Art" label transitioned from intricate patterns to the sculptural, monolithic forms favored by the era’s leading architects. Expertly mouth-blown and hand-cut using the "Côtes Plates" (Flat Ribs) technique, the design rises from a weighted octagonal foot to a dramatic flared rim. The result is a stunning chromatic gradient in golden honey hues—an amber formulation designed to capture the warmth of aged cognac when backlit. Weighing a formidable 4.2 kg, the piece possesses the exceptional optical density and resonant "ring" unique to high-lead Saint-Louis crystal. Specifications: Dimensions: H: 18.5 cm | Rim: 32 cm | Base: 15 cm Weight: 4.2 kg (9.25 lbs) Technique: Hand-cut Côtes Plates / Mouth-blown Condition: The piece shows natural, age-appropriate "shelf wear" to the base. Two minute flea-bites on the rim—common in heavy lead crystal of this vintage—do not detract from the monumental architectural silhouette. It remains a definitive example of why Saint-Louis remains the "crystal of kings."
