Its particularly \u003cstrong\u003eslender tubular\u003c\/strong\u003e shape gradually narrows towards the top and leans slightly. The vase rests on three hot-worked feet, whose extensions develop into fine undulating ribs that rise along the body. At the base of the neck, long glass \"tears\" seem to flow onto the body, while numerous circular cabochons, evoking flowers or rosettes, are applied to the surface. These different elements give the vase a deeply \u003cstrong\u003eorganic\u003c\/strong\u003e character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is distinguished by the \u003cstrong\u003etotal absence of painted enamel decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e, which Auguste Jean frequently used in his glass production. The ornamental richness here relies exclusively on the \u003cstrong\u003efree working of the material\u003c\/strong\u003e itself, which gives it a \u003cstrong\u003esculptural character\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral vases of comparable shape are known, but they generally have more modest dimensions and combine hot-working with painted enamel decoration, sometimes enhanced with gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts acquisition by the Cognac museum in 1987 retrospectively highlights the \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable and resolutely modern character\u003c\/strong\u003e of this object within 19th-century glass production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54671927968085,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/5255\/4069\/files\/auguste-jean-vase-verre-musee-cognac-france.png?v=1786960705","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/grand-vase-tripode-musee-cognac","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
