About the Item
Charming and elegant centerpiece bowl with base, crafted between 1949 and 1951 in an artisan workshop in the Nancy district of France — an area renowned for its high concentration of crystal manufacturers and master craftsmen (including Daum, Baccarat, and Saint-Louis). The bowl is made of crystal containing more than 30% lead oxide — a material developed in England by George Ravenscroft in the second half of the 17th century — which gives it exceptional brilliance and transparency. Its delicate amber hue was obtained by adding small amounts of iron oxide and sulfur during the melting process. The glassmakers then shaped the final form, and once cooled, carefully cut and polished the rim. The body and base were embellished with graceful floral engravings, meticulously executed by hand using small circular stone wheels. This refined decorative work creates a fascinating contrast between the cut surfaces and the smooth amber-toned crystal. The final polishing was performed with a cork wheel moistened with a mixture of water and pumice, while the last stage of brightening was achieved with a felt wheel soaked in a solution of water, iron oxide, and cerium oxide. With its harmonious and graceful silhouette, this bowl tells the story of exquisite French craftsmanship and timeless elegance. It is in good overall condition, showing slight internal irregularities from the original making process, which are not cracks.
