Description
The piece showcases the elegant design and craftsmanship of the late 1800s, but it is important to note that it has sustained considerable damage over time.
Condition: The foot of the ewer is missing, and there are visible signs of repair, including rivet restoration.
The glass itself is intact but shows wear consistent with its age, including some surface imperfections. The gilded detailing and turquoise beads remain charming but have some loss due to age and restoration.
Key Features: French opaline glass with gold leaf and turquoise decoration
Attributed to Baccarat, Circa 1880 (though unmarked)
Antique condition with missing foot and noticeable repairs
Ideal for those who appreciate the history and artistry of antique glass, even in imperfect condition
This ewer, despite its condition, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship of a bygone era and remains an interesting object for collectors of antique glassware.
