Standing an impressive 41 cm tall, this striking piece features a slender, gently tapering neck rising from a graceful bulbous body, culminating in a sculptural, free-form flared rim reminiscent of a flower in bloom.
The transparent glass is complemented by an intricately detailed pewter rose-and-leaf motif, creating a beautiful contrast between the delicate glass and the richly textured metalwork. A decorative pewter pedestal base adds stability and a refined finishing touch.
The vase retains its original French labels, including “Soufflé Bouche”, indicating mouth-blown glass, and “Étain Véritable”, meaning genuine pewter.
Its romantic floral detailing and sculptural proportions make it an attractive example of vintage French decorative design, equally suited to a mid-century-inspired interior, an eclectic collection or a contemporary setting.
