Description
Design & Inspiration
There is a quality of arrested movement in the finest Rococo decorative objects — as though nature itself paused mid-flourish to become art. This handcrafted crystal glass vase, inspired by the exuberant vocabulary of eighteenth-century French Rococo, captures precisely that moment. The trumpet-form body widens gracefully from a narrow waist, its clear glass alive with raised floral and foliate relief — sinuous stems, delicate petals, and trailing tendrils that catch the light and scatter it across any surface. Paired with a lavishly sculpted brass acanthus base, it brings the grandeur of the salons of Versailles into the contemporary home.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The vase body is formed from high-clarity glass, its surface enriched with hand-applied three-dimensional floral appliqués — rose blooms and leafy scrolls that emerge organically from the vessel wall, each one individually worked by skilled artisans. Small gilded brass flower mounts are positioned at the upper rim, acting as decorative sabots that frame the opening with Rococo-period naturalistic ornament. The sculptural base is cast in solid brass and finished in the chosen metallic tone, featuring deeply modelled acanthus-leaf volutes — a motif drawn directly from the repertoire of the Louis XV period — separated by a beaded collar ring that connects base to body with jewel-like precision.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this vase commands presence without overwhelming a surface. Its trumpet profile — wider at the mouth, narrowing toward the brass plinth — creates the visual dynamism characteristic of Rococo asymmetric play. The contrast between the cool transparency of the glass body and the warm, burnished warmth of the brass base is deliberate: it echoes the eighteenth-century French taste for combining crystal and gilt-bronze (ormolu) into a single unified object. Available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold brass finishes, each variant shifts the overall tone from opulent warmth to refined coolness to historic patina.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who inherit centuries of decorative metalwork and glasswork tradition. The brass base is cast and hand-chased to bring the acanthus relief into sharp definition, then finished by hand in the selected tone. The glass appliqués are individually applied and secured, ensuring no two vases are perfectly identical — a hallmark of true handcrafted luxury. This vase is a faithful interpretation of European Rococo decorative arts, produced with the care and precision that collectors and interior designers demand.
