VASE WITH CRYSTAL INSERT. IVAN KHLEBNIKOV. MOSCOW, 1908 - 1917

An exquisite Russian silver vase with a cut crystal bowl, produced at the factory of Ivan Khlebnikov in Moscow during the period 1908 - 1917. The composition is conceived through the contrast between the matte patinated surface of the silver and the luminous brilliance of the faceted crystal insert.

The crystal bowl is distinguished by an intricate geometric cut with fan-shaped and diamond motifs, creating a refined play of light. The upper rim is decorated with a rhythmic frieze of radiating fans, enhancing the plasticity of the silhouette. The base of the bowl is adorned with a sunburst rosette.

The silver mount is executed in a Neoclassical spirit. The body is encircled by an ornamental band of oval medallions and garlands, enriched with fine granulation and chasing. The interior of the mount is gilded. Two substantial handles are conceived as architectural elements with crossed torches and floral rosettes. Four shaped feet with foliate decoration lend stability and ceremonial presence to the piece.

The work exemplifies the characteristic combination of monumental form and jeweller’s precision typical of the Moscow school at the beginning of the 20th century.
