Small globular tripod vase, in translucent blue blown glass, with subtle metallic effects, measuring 13 cm in height. The piece features significant hot-working, particularly in the base, neck, and the application of delicate, high-relief "wavelets" that animate the surface of the body.
In addition to this material work, there is a discreet polychrome enamel decoration composed of a few small butterflies, whose lightness contrasts with the sculptural and organic character of the glass applications.
Condition: Good condition.
Signature: Signed on the reverse, under the base, in red enamel: "A. Jean."
