DESCRIPTION: I believe this to be an antique French Empire cobalt blue crystal or glass jardiniere bowl in a gilded ormolu bronze openwork frame featuring intricately ormolu detailing of classical Napoleonic motifs including griffins, caduceus and symbol of figures painting and sculpting fine art. HALLMARKS: 1. Bronze is hallmarked on the bottom with letters “S” and “F” with a star in the middle and three stars below along with “EZIN” and “Francia” just to the right and the number "1" on the other side. See last three pictures for closeups. 2. Crystal/Glass bowl does not have any hallmarks. CONDITION: 1. Bronze is in very good overall with minor imperfections and patina/dark spots. 2. Crystal/Glass bowl is in very good condition with no chips but does show numerous surface scratches inside and on the bottom along with some rubbing wear on the side from sitting in the bronze frame. MY RESEARCH: I did find the exact on Proantic.com that sold for $1650 euro (see attached link below) but I do not believe they have the correct artist, may be wrong and that is why I am sending all this to you. :-) LINK: https://www.proantic.com/en/938802-centerpiece-fruit-bowl-saglier-victor-planter.html
