The form is animated by several hot-worked elements: the base, the neck stretched with pincers, and the \"tears\" that emerge and flow over the body, accentuating the \u003cstrong\u003eorganic\u003c\/strong\u003e nature of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is adorned with a rich polychrome enamel decoration of \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese inspiration\u003c\/strong\u003e. On one side, two scalloped medallions interlock, one circular, the other teardrop-shaped with an almost opaque red background. They feature compositions of leafy and flowering branches, animated respectively by a bird in flight and a bird perched on a branch. The reverse side presents a more free decoration combining flowering branches, flowers, and butterflies. The composition and treatment of the motifs directly evoke the aesthetic of \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese prints\u003c\/strong\u003e, widely disseminated in Europe in the 19th century. \u003cstrong\u003eGilded highlights and metallic effects\u003c\/strong\u003e enrich the whole and accentuate the play of light on the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral vases of comparable shape are known today, of varying dimensions. However, they are consistently distinguished by the color of the glass and the composition of their enameled decoration, making each example a unique work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54682775814485,"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-meplat-emaille-bleu-japonisant-1.png?v=1787056880","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/vase-verre-bleu-piriforme-meplat-quadripode-japonisme","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
