{"product_id":"1930s-saint-louis-cristaux-d-art-amber-crystal-art-deco-vase","title":"1930s Saint-Louis \"Cristaux d’Art\" Amber Crystal Vase","description":"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.\n\nExpertly 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.\n\nSpecifications:\n\nDimensions: H: 18.5 cm | Rim: 32 cm | Base: 15 cm\n\nWeight: 4.2 kg (9.25 lbs)\n\nTechnique: Hand-cut Côtes Plates \/ Mouth-blown\n\nCondition:\nThe 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.\"","brand":"Trove Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57062717063433,"sku":null,"price":1482.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/avl3qqw4q6mrgywm3abl.jpg?v=1778873364","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/1930s-saint-louis-cristaux-d-art-amber-crystal-art-deco-vase","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
