Directoire Crystal Spindle Vase, « Wolf’s Heads » Bronze mount, Attr. Thomire

About the Item

Outstanding spindle vase in heavy cut crystal. Probably Cristallerie du Creusot (Baccarat) or Imperial Glassworks de Saint-Petersourg, around 1800. The fixture with antique profiles and wolf's heads , original mercury ormolu, of high quality can be attributed to Thomire or Galle. We have not found any vases of comparable elegance in the available documentation.
