Constructed from heavy leaded glass and devoid maker's marks, this vase measures 10 3/4 inches tall with an internal diameter at the mouth of 3 1/2 inches and a 4 1/4 inch wide scalloped round base. Fine leafy vine and scallop patterns have been cut into the glass and accented with gold wash with one side featuring a spread-winged eagle topped with a crown. The design, particularly the crown, bears a strong resemblance to the Imperial symbols of Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie as well as the Emperor of Mexico (a client of Napoleon's).

Excellent. Some light flaking or darkening of the gold has occurred, light scuffs are visible on the base, and minimum handling marks overall.
