Nobody made better French cameo glass than Burgun & Schverer. Their internally decorated vases were so sophisticated, with so many different techniques, that they must have taken weeks to make one vase. This example has truly gorgeous color, with the bleeding heart flowers between the layers of glass. It's the best! I rarely get B&S vases of any quality, let alone this quality. 6½" tall. Signed. Mint condition.
