About the Item

Blown blue opaline vase from the Portieux Vallerysthal crystal factory representing a hand holding a cornucopia and dating approximately from the 1920s “Cornet” vase or “Main” vase The ring finger wears a ring and the base represents the wrist of a lace blouse. The blue opaline vase is enhanced with gilding on the lace on the sleeve in particular. Fine white flowers with gold stems and green leaves are hand painted all around the top of the vase. France- Art Deco 1920’s Height: 8,46 inches The opening is 3,35 inches in diameter. The cornucopia is a mythological object in the shape of a ruminant's horn or newt's shell used by Pluto, the Roman god of wealth and abundance. According to the most popular tradition, the cornucopia adorned the forehead of the goat Amalthea, who fed Zeus in his childhood. Another version instead makes it the horn that Heracles tore from Acheloos (while he was transformed into a bull) during his victory over the river god. The cornucopia is synonymous with an inexhaustible source of benefits. It has also become the attribute of liberality, of public happiness but also of prudence, which are the sources of abundance.
