Cast in the distinctive \"Chrysanthème\" (Chrysanthemum) pattern, each vessel features a deeply embossed floral motif centered within an elegant scrolled cartouche, a design hallmark of the Belle Époque era. The glass is finished in a heavy acid-etched frost, historically referred to as \"Camphre\" or camphor glass, which provides a soft, satin-like translucency that diffuses light across the molded details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the vases exhibit the industrial craftsmanship typical of the Lorraine region during the Art Nouveau period, including hand-ground rims designed to remove the flashing from the press-molding process. While the top edges show the expected minor roughness and microscopic flea-bite chips consistent with ground glass of this age, the structural integrity of the heavy baluster forms remains intact. The pair represents a significant example of French technical glass production, where ornate Rococo-revival aesthetics were achieved through sophisticated mold engineering and post-production surface treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina \u0026 Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47822566293661,"sku":"PP-103025-195","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4923\/2285\/files\/patina-prose-frosted-camphor-glass-vases-floral-relief-a1b2c3.jpg?v=1777841456","url":"https:\/\/patinaandprose.com\/products\/antique-portieux-vallerysthal-french-camphor-glass-vases","provider":"Patina \u0026 Prose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
