Each of the three feet extends into a thin undulating \"rib\" that rises over the belly to the neck, stretched with pliers. The surface is enlivened with rich polychrome enamel decoration of florets and intertwined ribbons that \u003cstrong\u003eevoke the motifs of traditional Japanese textiles.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGilded accents and metallic effects\u003c\/strong\u003e enrich the polychromy and accentuate the contrasts of material and light.

The Design Museum Ghent notably holds a second example, in poorer condition, which presents a composition entirely comparable, despite some variations in the arrangement of the enameled decoration. The acquisition of this example by the museum in 1989 retrospectively highlights the \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable and resolutely modern character\u003c\/strong\u003e of this work within 19th-century glass production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54672617177429,"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-emaille-musee-gand-belgique.png?v=1786967019","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/vase-tripode-verre-musee-design-gand","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
