Question about this piece
A Monumental Pair of 19th Century French (attributed) Bacarrat Hand-Diamond Cut-Crystal Vases of Superb Quality and Craftsmanship. The vases are of inverted baluster form, each vase transitions smoothly from a narrow base to a bulbous midsection, tapering to a wide, flared mouth. Each vase is beautifully hand-diamond cut, consisting of an array of crystal motifs designs including starbursts, fan motifs, and crosshatching. The middle section features an extruding diamond pattern that creates an engaging optical illusion, adding depth and complexity. Surrounding this central pattern are straight and diagonal cuts forming a rope-like effect around the circumference, contributing to the textural richness. Vases of this size, quality, and condition are exceptionally rare. Their extremely high lead content gives these vases tremendous weight and gorgeous brilliance. France, Circa: 1880
