About the Item

A fine pair of Antique Russian of Amethyst cut crystal vases in doré bronze mounts. As so often happens, the artisans of the 19th century turned to nature for inspiration. Here we see the fire of precious amethyst captured in glass. The glass was faceted (much like a jewel) and mounted in gilded bronze. The advent of new manufacturing methods and improved transportation opened the world marketplace to creators worldwide. Gilt bronze-mounted objects became required decoration for homes and palaces. Their appeal is undiminished today.

Magnificent Pair of Russian Imperial Ruby Glass Vases w/ Gilded Bronze Mounts
Located in New York, NY
While Napoleon's armies never conquered Russian, French taste did, and in a big way. This pair made at the Imperial Glass Workshop, under the Sponsorship of the Imperial Family would have been at home in a Paris drawing room as easily as in St. Petersburg. The Intense Ruby Red color of the Crystal is created by adding large quantities of gold to the molten glass before the object is created. The resulting color is dense yet full of light just like its namesake the precious jewel. The Dore bronze mounts use motifs taken from antiquity. Likewise, the shape of the handles is inspired by Greco-Roman amphora...
