Rococo Crystal Glass Vase with Engraved Floral Relief and Ornate Brass Acanthus Base

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular quality of light that only crystal can command — the way it catches a sunbeam and fractures it into a constellation of prismatic brilliance. This Rococo-inspired crystal glass vase, faithfully reproducing the exuberance of 18th-century French decorative arts, possesses that quality in abundance. The trumpet-form silhouette flares upward with confident grace, its body alive with deeply engraved foliate and floral relief that catches and refracts light at every angle. At the rim, delicate cast-brass rosette appliqués frame the opening like jewels set in a crown, while below, the vase rests upon a sumptuously cast brass acanthus-leaf base — a masterwork of the goldsmith's tradition.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this luxury vase is formed from high-clarity crystal glass, hand-engraved by skilled artisans using traditional wheel-cutting and relief-engraving techniques. The organic, flowing floral motifs — scrolling stems, naturalistic leaves, and open blossoms — cascade across the entire surface in the unmistakable vocabulary of Rococo ornament. The base is precision cast in solid brass, its surface worked into deeply modelled acanthus scrolls and bead-and-reel border detailing, finished to a warm metallic lustre that complements the crystal's cool luminosity. The transition between the crystal stem and brass base is sealed with jeweller's precision, ensuring structural integrity as elegant as the aesthetic it serves.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this vase carries the satisfying solidity of a truly substantial decorative object. Its trumpet form — narrow at the waist, expanding generously at the mouth — makes it ideally proportioned for tall-stemmed florals: roses, calla lilies, amaryllis, or architectural branches. The ornate brass acanthus base provides a stable, sculptural anchor that allows the vase to stand independently as a work of decorative art, with or without flowers. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by master artisans who have devoted their careers to the precise reproduction of classical European decorative traditions. The combination of hand-engraved crystal and cast-brass metalwork reflects a centuries-old dialogue between Venetian glassmaking artistry and French bronzier craftsmanship — brought to life today in our Cairo workshops. Each vase is individually inspected before dispatch, ensuring that the piece arriving in your home meets the exacting standards of luxury that Brass & Wood is known for throughout the region.
