We would like to introduce an antique crystal de Saint-Louis vase. The model name is "Versailles", a model created in 1921, and is a classical French model inspired by the Medici vase decorated in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. The shape is an ancient style vase called "Medicis", with point-cut diamonds and a crystal taille all over. It is almost unused, with a mouth that spreads softly upwards and a square bottom. The entire crystal taille is made of point-cut diamonds, the foot and the part that spreads upwards are octahedral crystal taille, the bottom is star-shaped crystal taille, and the corners are rounded off.

There are many variations, mainly geometric patterns with names such as diamonds, carrées (squares), and étoiles (stars), and the completed design is engraved by combining different patterns with different bumps, and one object is completed by 4 to 5 craftsmen for each technique and technique. Baccarat was the first workshop to adopt the rotating plate technique using hydraulic energy in 1824, and has created the most complete objects. *Saint-Louis is a French crystal glass maison with a history dating back to the 16th century. In 1767, Louis XV gave it the name "Saint-Louis" as a royal crystal maison, and since then, along with Baccarat, it has become one of France's leading maisons. Saint-Louis was named after "King Louis IX of France" of the 13th century Capetian dynasty. Louis IX established a monarchy, built the Saint-Chapelle Chapel in Paris, founded many hospitals, and is said to be the most noble king in French history as a model for the Crusader knights. After his death in 1270 during the Crusades, he was canonized by Pope Boniface in 1297 and became "Saint-Louis". The quality of the crystal glass is the best in Europe along with Baccarat, and one of the characteristics is the French architectural and intricate design.
