Description
Rock crystal FLACON-TABATIERE carved in the shape of a lotus. The crystal in this piece is of exceptional purity, virtually free of inclusions and impurities, making it a first-rate crystal for its time. Thanks to the relief carving technique, the dragon appears to be swimming in a deep, clear crystal pool. Unlike the usual round shape of a snuffbox, this free-form sculpture preserves the unique beauty of the crystal cut.
