ProfessionalProduct description
A rare hand-blown French crystal decanter by Saint-Louis, with a very elegant, almost architectural shape and a soft pale green tint that catches the light beautifully. In its striking form with a long, refined neck rising from a square base with gently rounded shoulders. It feels balanced between structure and softness. The crystal itself has that subtle movement and tiny air inclusions you only get with traditional hand-blown glass, which gives it real character. It still keeps its original Saint-Louis paper label and carries the Musée du Louvre mark on the base. This piece was created in connection with a collaboration with the Louvre Museum, which already adds a strong sense of provenance and history. This bottle, called "Mercure", is part of a group of objects referenced in the Louvre's galleries of Italian antiquities. The official reproduction was entrusted to Saint-Louis, who recreated it with remarkable precision of the slight imperfections of antique glass. Rare & collectible example of French crystal work, where museum history and everyday beauty meet in a very understated way. Height - 25.8 cm Top diameter - 6.2 cm Base - 5 × 5 cm
