Rococo Crystal Vase with Brass Base & Rose Appliqué — Faceted Cut-Glass Trumpet Form

Design & Inspiration

There are objects that hold a room in silence the moment they are placed — this handcrafted Rococo crystal vase is one of them. Inspired by the decorative vocabulary of eighteenth-century French court interiors, where light was considered a design material in its own right, the vase's trumpet form rises with theatrical confidence: a wide, flared mouth that gathers and refracts candlelight and sunlight alike, channelling the spirit of Versailles into the contemporary home. Every angle reveals a new constellation of prismatic sparkle, the dense facet-cut pattern across the crystal body scattering brilliance across any surface it inhabits.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this luxury decorative vase is formed from hand-cut lead-free crystal, its surface covered in a dense field of geometric and floral intaglio cuts — star medallions, crosshatched diamonds, and circular bull's-eye motifs characteristic of the finest European crystal tradition. At the waist, a masterfully cast gilt brass rose appliqué commands immediate attention: three-dimensional petals curl with sculptural naturalism, flanked by scrolling foliate tendrils, the whole mount finished in a warm, luminous gold. The stem is a faceted crystal orb — a single sphere catching light from every direction — which transitions seamlessly into the base: a broad, deeply cast brass pedestal lavished with radiating gadroon ribs, bold acanthus cartouches at each corner, and a scrolled apron edge that echoes the Rococo love of organic, shell-like form. The brass components are produced by lost-wax casting, ensuring the sharpness of every leaf and petal survives the production process with jeweller's precision.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this piece commands the visual weight it deserves on a dining table centrepiece, a hallway console, or a formal reception credenza. The trumpet silhouette creates a natural stage for seasonal florals, dried botanicals, or decorative branches — though the vase is equally compelling left entirely empty, relying solely on crystal and brass to do the work. Available in your choice of brass finish to complement your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who have inherited generations of metalworking and glass-cutting expertise. The brass components are hand-finished and inspected individually; the crystal body is cut and polished by skilled craftspeople who understand that luxury lives in the details invisible to the casual eye. This is not mass-produced decorative ware — it is a faithful interpretation of the Rococo decorative tradition, brought to life through patient, skilled handwork and made to be passed between generations.
