{"product_id":"hyalite-glass-perfume-flacon","title":"Hyalite Glass Perfume Flacon","description":"This fascinating Charles X-period “cathedral” flacon has the appearance of agate, but it is actually crafted of rare red hyalite glass. The sculpted vessel rests within a patinated and gilt bronze basilica-inspired stand decorated in an openwork, Gothic-style arcade, and it was retailed by the goldsmithing shop of Grandcher of Paris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hyalite glass was developed by Bohemian glassmaker Friedrich Egermann in the late 18th century in Haida; the artisen wanted to create glass that rivaled gemstones. He achieved this by applying a metal oxide to the surface of colorless glass in a process called “cementation,” which requires three firings and a high level of skill. Different oxides give the glass different colors, and the result impressively mimics the appearance of a semi-precious stone.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Label on base reads \"Grandcher, au Petit Dunkerque, rue de Richelieu No. 91, au coin de celle Menars, a Paris\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1830 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 3\/4“ diameter x 11” high","brand":"MSR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50274963226914,"sku":"31-3815","price":8850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6710\/0706\/files\/31-3815_1.png?v=1756229829","url":"https:\/\/banksyarts.com\/products\/hyalite-glass-perfume-flacon","provider":"The Louvre of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
