Classical Crystal Goblet Vase with Pierced Brass Grapevine Stand & Crown

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects capture the opulence of European classical interiors quite like a crystal and ormolu goblet vase — a form beloved by the great ateliers of the Belle Époque and the grand salons of 19th-century France. This handcrafted piece faithfully reproduces that tradition: a generously proportioned goblet of faceted clear crystal, cradled in a pierced brass tripod pedestal and crowned with a cascading vine-and-cluster brass collar that drapes over the rim like a living garland. The interplay between the cold brilliance of the crystal — its star-cut and rosette-etched body catching and refracting light — and the warm, sculptural depth of the brass mounts is precisely the visual tension that defined the finest decorative arts of the period.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The crystal body is formed from high-clarity glass, its exterior worked with an all-over geometric relief pattern of star-burst medallions and rosette cartouches arranged in a repeating grid — a technique echoing the deep-cut crystal traditions of Bohemia and Baccarat. The brass mounts are cast and hand-finished: the tripod pedestal features reticulated panels dense with grapevine foliage, bunches of grapes, and curling tendrils, all rendered in high relief and terminating in generous scroll feet. The matching upper crown collar mirrors this vocabulary with an open-work frieze of vine leaves and pendant grape clusters that overhang the crystal rim, creating a dramatic silhouette. All brass components are finished in your chosen metallic tone, polished to a warm lustre that honours the ormolu tradition of gilt-bronze mounts.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this vase carries the satisfying visual and physical weight of a true centrepiece. The goblet form — wider at the top than at the waist — creates an elegant tulip silhouette on its elevated pedestal. It is designed to stand freely as a sculptural accent piece on a console table, dining table centrepiece, sideboard, or reception desk. The three-legged brass base provides inherent stability while remaining visually light through its pierced, open-work construction.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who have trained in the traditions of European decorative metalwork and glasswork. The brass mounts are individually cast, cleaned, and hand-polished — no two pieces are absolutely identical. Because this piece is classified as fragile, it ships in purpose-built protective packaging. Customisation of the brass finish colour is available; please contact our team to discuss your requirements.
