AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Baccarat crystal Ox, symbol of the Chinese zodiac, with a presence that is both understated and majestic. This medium-sized sculpture, yet with a strong visual impact, elegantly illustrates the quiet strength, stability and perseverance traditionally associated with the Ox in the Chinese horoscope. Made of colorless crystal, it captivates by the purity of its material, the clarity of its volumes, and the exceptional quality of its light.
The silhouette, intentionally streamlined and stylized, expresses with remarkable economy of lines all the power contained in the animal. The compact body, solidly grounded on four short legs, is animated by a subtle modeling that makes the material vibrate with the light. The slightly elongated head, calm and assured bearing, and the sculptural treatment of the masses give the piece an expression of serenity and inner strength. The polished reliefs, the taut curves, and the plays of transparency characteristic of Baccarat crystal create a changing reading of the piece according to the viewing angle, sometimes accentuating the density of the form, sometimes its extraordinary visual lightness.
We particularly appreciate how the light concentrates and diffracts in the shoulders, chest, hindquarters, and legs, revealing the thickness of the crystal and the refinement of the craftsmanship. The Baccarat engraved signature, visible on one of the legs, confirms the authenticity of this creation and its belonging to the world of collectible objects from the prestigious manufacturer.
Both decorative object and symbolic piece, this Ox perfectly embodies the spirit of the Baccarat edition inspired by the Chinese zodiac: refined creations that are immediately legible, where symbolic tradition meets the excellence of French crystal. An ideal work for a connoisseur of the house, a collector of animal subjects, or a very high-quality gift charged with meaning.
Dimensions: Height 8 cm; Width 14.5 cm; Depth 8 cm.
Condition: Excellent condition, barely used, with very minor signs of wear.
