Amazing 19th century French opalescent glass bowl w moulded raised cherries and leaves in a gilt bronze mount with vines, dragonflies, candle holders and supporting an oval mirror. Art Nouveau. Glass like Sabino / Lalique, but much earlier. Diameter of bowl is almost 5 inches. Total height is 8inches. Great quality French Art Glass. Bowl covered in moulded cherries and vineleaves, covered in spiderweb-like branching veins. Stands on 3 tripod legs. Bowl is mounted in bronze that supports an oval mirror in a marvellously scrolling gilt bronze design with attached vine leaves, candle holders, twisted ropes and a dragonfly on the top. The fine detail is absolutely incredible: from the minute engraved and moulded details of the leaves, to the pierced openwork gauze of the dragonfly wings. Very delicate, ornate, Nouveau design. Condition is excellent. No damage / wear of any sort to glass, mirror or bronze. Gilding is mint.
