Art Deco "Bacchus & Bacchantes" Frosted Crystal Vase

A heavy vintage French crystal vase celebrating classical mythology through dramatic, high-relief artwork. The body features a rich frosted satin finish depicting a continuous motif inspired by Bacchus—the Roman god of wine, celebration, and harvest—surrounded by lush grapevines and ethereal nymphs reaching upward through the foliage.

The frosted center is framed by a thick, hand-faceted clear crystal rim and base, creating a stunning visual contrast. When placed near a window or in direct sunlight, the clear glass refracts light magnificently while the frosted satin relief glows from within

Attribution & Provenance Context

The form, relief execution, dimensions (25 cm w x 16 cm), and substantial weight (4.92 kg) correspond to Lalique's "Bacchus" vase design. While identical signed examples (R. Lalique France) are recorded in auction archives, this specific piece is unsigned. It is presented on its strong aesthetic merit, weight, and fine visual craftsmanship.
