Pair of Rare Gilt Bronze Mounted Antique French Lithyalin Glass Vases
About the Item
The two vases of ovoid form, the Lithyalin glass bodies canted with flared necks and bases, supported by scrolling ormolu mounts to the sides and bases
The fine pair of vases attributed to the Saint Louis Glassworks (French, f. 1767)
Lithyalin glass is an opaque or translucent marbled glass with a surface resembling polished gemstones in a wide range of colors. It was first made by the chemist Friedrich Egermann (Bohemian, 1777-1864) in 1828 in northern Bohemia, and he patented the process in 1829. When this patent expired, similar pieces were made in France, Bohemia, China and Russia.
More of a period than a specific style of design, the European Belle Époque began in the late 19th Century and continued until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The period was, in fact, given its name after World War One, as it was felt to be a Golden Age in contrast to the horror of the war. The Belle Époque was emblematic of an optimistic time, when arts, technology, science and cultural innovations were encouraged and flourished. The art and design that emerged from the period is typified by the sense of freedom and pleasure that it evokes.
