Ball Vase, Storage Tray, Art Nouveau, Enameled Glass, 12.5 - 15.5 Cm Tbe.

Charming little "ball" vase, or storage compartment, late 19th century, enameled glass, pre-Art Nouveau period. In the shape of a purse, its full-length silhouette is slightly tightened by a twisted, gold-colored cord, and knotted, in hot application: the lovely work of a very experienced glassblower!.. The cord is decorated with 3 cabochons with a floral motif, 1 in green, and 2 in white. Enamelled around the edges with very fine flowering branches, this vase also houses a delicate butterfly within its light decoration... The high, serrated edges are surrounded by a thick green "crest" applied, in the style of Auguste Jeans.... Excellent condition, without cracks or chips, some internal scratches, probably due to careless washing... Height = 12.5 cm, diameter = 15 to 15.5 cm Weight = 790 grams Extremely shipped treated in mainland France, via colissimo = €10
