About the Item

This exquisite pair of ruby red overlay crystal vases, attributed to Saint Louis, showcases the refined artistry and precision of 19th-century glassmaking. Each vase features a fluted body with elegantly scalloped rims and deep ruby overlay, masterfully cut to reveal the clear crystal beneath. The contrast between the rich red hue and the brilliance of the transparent crystal creates a striking interplay of light and color. The bases are intricately star-cut, adding a touch of sophistication and enhancing the reflective quality of the glass. Their harmonious proportions and graceful silhouette make them ideal as centerpiece vases or as decorative accents on a mantel or console. These vases exemplify the traditional overlay technique — a labor-intensive process that required layering colored glass over clear crystal before cutting through the outer layer to reveal intricate designs. Perfect for collectors or admirers of antique glassware, this pair embodies timeless elegance and the rich heritage of 19th-century French craftsmanship.
