St. Louis - Table service (5) - Crystal

An exquisite Saint-Louis crystal ice cream service comprising a generous pedestal serving bowl and four individual handled dessert cups. The design appears in the accompanying Saint-Louis catalogue extract under “Services à glace,” model 311. Each piece features a delicate pattern of cut stars alternating with graceful fan motifs, framed by fine horizontal lines. The decoration catches the light beautifully, while radiating cuts beneath the circular feet create a brilliant interplay of reflections. The individual cups combine wide, shallow bowls with elegant loop handles and short pedestal bases. One cup is distinguished by fine gold edging around its rim and foot, adding a warm decorative accent to the ensemble. Originally intended for serving ice cream, this refined service would also present sorbets, berries or delicate desserts beautifully. Its balanced proportions and luminous decoration bring timeless elegance to the table. Some traces of time are shown on photographs. Please examine the photographs, which form part of the description. Height — 5.2; 7.5 cm Top diameter — 9.5; 22 cm
