A Baccarat enamelled white opaline glass jardinière, circa 1870

Of plain U-shape with a distinct swelling band beneath the everted lip painted with a baroque shell and scroll border en camaieu rose edged with gold lines, the body painted with a continuous woodland scene including two maidens bathing, a swan swimming on a stream beside them, 30cm high

Footnotes

This shape, known as a Vase Cratère was introduced by Baccarat in 1867 and was usually issued with additional trailed handles. For an example with acid cameo decoration see the previous lot in this sale. Enamelled decoration is rarely seen on Baccarat opaline glass and this may be the work of an independent enameller such as Jean-Francois Robert.
