Baccarat – “Chardon” Trumpet Vase with Acid-Etched and Gilded Decoration – Late 19th century

An elegant Baccarat conical vase from the late 19th century, featuring a design of purple thistles created using acid etching and accented with gilding.

Its slender silhouette, with pronounced panels and a flared neck, highlights the finely drawn botanical design. The thistle flowers and leaves stand out against a light, delicately textured background. The gilded highlights accentuate the details of the foliage and the rim of the neck, creating beautiful contrasts throughout the piece.

The vase rests on a square, stepped bronze base, which emphasizes the elegance of its proportions.

A beautiful decorative piece, whose naturalistic motif and rich finishes attest to the refinement of late 19th-century glassmaking.
