A rare and finely executed antique Saint-Louis shot cup vase pairs a colorful millefiori paperweight base with a slender blue-flashed chamber. Complex canes in red, blue, green, yellow, and white rest over a delicate ground of upset white muslin lace, their varied patterns inviting a closer look. Above, rows of facets gleam against the rich blue glass, while a white filigree rim provides a graceful finishing touch. The contrast between the jewel-like canes, airy lace, and luminous blue gives this unusual form a particularly elegant presence.
