Pair Antique Russian Hand-Diamond-Cut Crystal Ormolu Mounted Double Swan Vases

About the Item

A Magnificent Pair of 19th Century Antique Russian Ormolu Mounted Crystal Double Swan Handle Vases. With a small diameter of bronze at the base, the vase widens as it ascends to the mouth. The inverted conical shape of the glass is supported by bronze handles on opposite sides of the vase. Swans with long, flexible necks bend to form the decorative handles—their bodies descend into ormolu floral decoration and re-attach to the vase towards the bottom. The hand-diamond cut crystal is faceted into a variety of patterns and shapes to give the surface a textile texture. The middle portion of the crystal is shaped into an extruding diamond pattern that creates an optical illusion when peering through the vase, while the top and bottom of the glass are dimpled with straight and diagonal lines, creating a rope effect surrounding the perimeter. Russia, Circa: 1820
