Rare Pair of Baccarat Opaline Hand Painted Vases by Jean Francois Robert
About the Item
This rare pair of Baccarat opaline vases, hand-painted by Jean-François Robert, represents a significant convergence of artistry and craftsmanship from the mid-19th century. Jean-François Robert, renowned for developing the technique for painting on glass in the 1830s, brought a new dimension to decorative glasswork. His background as a painter at the prestigious Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory provided him with the skills and artistic sensibilities that he later applied to glass.
The vases, each measuring 30 x 15 cm, showcase the exquisite opaline glass that Baccarat is famous for. Opaline glass, known for its milky and semi-translucent quality, provides a perfect canvas for Robert's detailed and vibrant hand-painted designs. His work often features intricate floral motifs and delicate patterns, which would have been enhanced by the subtle luminescence of the opaline material.
Robert set up his workshop in Sèvres, where he was commissioned by Baccarat to apply his innovative painting techniques to their opaline glass pieces. This collaboration resulted in unique and highly collectible works of art, combining the luxurious quality of Baccarat glass with Robert's painterly expertise.
These vases are not just decorative items but also historical artifacts that reflect the technological and artistic advancements of the time. They symbolize a period when artists and manufacturers were pushing the boundaries of what could be achieved with glass, resulting in pieces that are as valuable for their beauty as they are for their craftsmanship and innovation.
For collectors and enthusiasts of antique glassware, this pair of vases represents a rare and significant acquisition, showcasing the synergy between a master painter and an iconic glass manufacturer. Their historical importance and aesthetic appeal make them a treasured addition to any collection.
