Rococo Engraved Crystal Trumpet Vase with Gilt-Brass Acanthus Collar & Ornate Cast Base

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the effortless authority of a classically proportioned crystal vase — and this trumpet-form piece, faithfully inspired by the exuberance of 18th-century Rococo court interiors, does precisely that. The dramatically flared mouth catches and scatters light across every surface it touches, while the sinuous narrowing of the body toward a perfectly faceted crystal ball stem creates that characteristic Rococo tension between restraint and extravagance. This is a vase conceived not merely to hold flowers, but to stand as a work of decorative art in its own right.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vessel itself is crafted from fine crystal, its entire surface animated by a dense all-over engraved lattice of stylised florals, foliage scrolls, and geometric crosshatch — a technique that catches even the softest ambient light and transforms it into a constellation of brilliant refractions. At the waist, a lavishly cast brass appliqué collar featuring roses in full bloom and unfurling acanthus leaves is secured to the crystal body, forming the visual centrepiece of the composition. The stem — a generously proportioned faceted crystal sphere — transitions the eye downward to the crowning glory of the piece: the base. Cast from solid brass and finished to a rich metallic lustre, the base presents a tour de force of Rococo ornamental vocabulary — deeply sculpted acanthus scrolls, rocaille shells, and foliate flourishes cascade from a ribbed dome, terminating in four pronounced scroll feet that anchor the composition with visual weight and historical authenticity. Every element is handcrafted and hand-finished by master artisans, ensuring no two pieces are entirely identical.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this vase has considerable presence — its weight a testament to the quality of the crystal and the solidity of the cast brass base. The trumpet-form silhouette makes it equally suited to display as a standalone objet d'art on a mantelpiece, console, or entrance table, or filled with long-stemmed florals as a centrepiece for a formal dining table or reception hall. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is conceived and crafted in Egypt by artisans whose skills have been shaped by generations of working with brass and crystal. Drawing on the rich tradition of European classical design and the exacting standards of Egyptian master craftspeople, each vase passes through multiple stages of hand-engraving, casting, polishing, and assembly before leaving the workshop. When you bring a Brass & Wood piece into your home, you are investing in an object that carries the integrity of genuine handcraft — not a mass-produced imitation, but a faithfully rendered homage to the European decorative arts tradition.
