Rococo Brass & Cut-Crystal Trumpet Vase with Foliate Branch Handles

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular quality of light that belongs only to fine cut crystal — the way it fractures a sunbeam into a constellation of prismatic sparks across a white wall. This Rococo-inspired trumpet vase captures that quality in its most theatrical form. Rising from a richly detailed brass base, the flared crystal body catches and refracts every ambient light source, while two sweeping brass branch handles — alive with ivy leaves and delicate scrolls — frame the vessel like a scene from an eighteenth-century French orangerie. It is a piece that does not simply sit in a room; it animates it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vase body is formed from hand-cut crystal, its surface worked into a bold diamond-facet pattern that maximises light refraction and gives the piece its visual weight and depth. Each facet edge is crisp and precise — the hallmark of true crystal craftsmanship rather than moulded glass. The structural frame — base, handles, and collar — is cast in solid brass, hand-finished to reveal every botanical detail: the veining of each ivy leaf, the tension in every curling scroll, the scalloped shell relief on the square plinth base. The brass components are available in your choice of finish — Gold, Silver, or Antique Gold — each transforming the character of the piece from opulent warmth to cool refinement.

Dimensions & Details

Standing 37 cm tall, 30 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, this vase commands presence on a mantelpiece, console table, or dining sideboard without overwhelming the space. The trumpet silhouette — narrow waist flaring to a generous open mouth — is ideally proportioned for a single dramatic stem arrangement or a loose bouquet of garden roses. At 4 kg, the weighted brass base ensures absolute stability. The square stepped plinth, engraved with a repeating classical frieze, provides a composed, architectural foundation that grounds the exuberant foliate handles above.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in our Egyptian atelier, where master craftsmen trained in classical European decorative traditions shape, cast, and finish each component by hand. The brass is cast using time-honoured methods, then individually chased and polished to bring out the botanical relief. The crystal is fitted and secured with the same care given to antique originals. This is not production-line décor — it is a handcrafted luxury object made to be passed down. Brass & Wood ships worldwide with full fragile-item packaging to ensure your piece arrives in perfect condition.
