Rococo Crystal Vase with Brass Floral Bird Branch Sculptural Base

Design & Inspiration

In the tradition of eighteenth-century French Rococo decorative arts, this handcrafted crystal vase captures the exuberant naturalism that defined an era of unparalleled ornamental refinement. The form rises from a richly sculptural brass base where a delicate bird rests among blossoming branches, unfurling leaves, and full-faced flowers — a composition that recalls the ateliers of Paris and the porcelain workshops of Sèvres. The flared, scallop-edged crystal vessel above catches and scatters light across its deeply cut geometric and floral surface relief, creating a living, luminous presence on any surface it graces.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vessel itself is fashioned from high-clarity crystal, its body engraved with an intricate all-over pattern of rosettes, lattice panels, and floral medallions — each facet hand-finished to maximize brilliance. The base is cast in solid brass and finished by hand, with each petal, feather, and tendril individually detailed to achieve a three-dimensional sculptural depth that mass production cannot replicate. At Brass & Wood, our artisans in Egypt apply time-honoured techniques of lost-wax casting and hand-chasing to bring every naturalistic detail to life. The brass and crystal components are designed to seat together with precision, requiring only minimal assembly.

Dimensions & Details

This piece weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of its solid brass base and full crystal body. The sculpted brass base features acanthus leaf fringe around its perimeter, transitioning upward through flowering branches to cradle the crystal vessel at its centre. Available in multiple brass finish variants — each finish transforms the character of the piece, from the warm brilliance of polished gold to the depth of antique treatments.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is conceived, cast, and finished entirely in Egypt by craftsmen who carry forward generations of metalworking and glassworking tradition. This vase is a faithful interpretation of Rococo naturalist decorative objects — the type of luxury accent that once graced the consoles and mantelpieces of European aristocracy, now brought into the contemporary home. Its 4 kg weight speaks to the generosity of material; nothing here is hollow or superficial. Packaged with care to protect its fragile crystal and polished brass surfaces, it arrives ready to become an heirloom.
