Dating back to circa 1870, and catalogued as Planche 39 #13, these vases showcase the elegant “Feuilles et Guirlandes” motif, a delicate interplay of leaves and garlands rendered in crystal.
Although unsigned (as labels were introduced only after 1936 and earlier marks have often worn away), the authentic craftsmanship of Saint-Louis is unmistakable. These vases are in excellent antique condition, preserved as fine decorative pieces.
These exceptional vases bear some natural signs of age, entirely normal and expected for pieces that are over a century old, adding to their authenticity and charm as works of art.
