“Vasthi” (1920) - Maurice DAILLET (glassmaker) - Rare bottle with garlands of roses, complete in its original case (exceptional!) GUELDY, Paris - “Vasthi” (1920) - Maurice DAILLET (glassmaker) - Rare bottle with garlands of roses, complete in its original case A Persian queen crowned with roses, sculpted in glass by Maurice Daillet: a rare bottle, showcasing great glassmaking finesse, which has survived to this day complete with its stopper, label, and original case. A pyramid-shaped bottle with beveled sides, made of high-quality colorless pressed-molded glass, designed by Maurice Daillet. The interplay between the satin-finished sections and the transparent, polished surfaces gives the bottle a remarkable luminosity. The shoulders are encircled by a wreath of roses in high relief, from which garlands of flowers cascade down the edges. The molding is remarkably precise, right down to the details of the petals and leaves. The decoration is hand-enhanced with a gray patina and fine black lines that give each flower its three-dimensional form. It is topped with its original stopper, square with beveled edges, molded atop a bouquet of four roses with a matching patina. It retains its black band around the neck and remnants of its sealing wire. It bears its beautiful original embossed gold label, inscribed “Vasthi - Gueldy - Paris.” Original arcade-shaped case, covered in canvas, with a satin-padded interior. Bottle dimensions: 13.5 × 4.5 cm. Case dimensions: 15 × 6 × 5.5 cm. A complete set that is rarely found. Bottle is empty; label shows minor wear; remnants of cellophane and string remain on the neck; a few residue stains; box is worn and stained.
