AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crystal Baccarat Ox, a symbol of the Chinese zodiac, with a presence that is at once 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 with the purity of its material, the clarity of its volumes, and the exceptional quality of its light.
The silhouette, deliberately pared-down and stylized, conveys with remarkable economy of lines all the power contained in the animal. The compact body, solidly planted on four short legs, is animated by a subtle modeling that makes the material vibrate with the light. The slightly elongated head, the calm and confident bearing, and the sculptural treatment of the masses give the whole an expression of serenity and inner strength. The polished reliefs, taut curves, and the characteristic transparency effects of Baccarat crystal create a changing reading of the piece depending on the viewing angle, sometimes emphasizing 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 crystal’s thickness 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 realm of collectible objects from the prestigious manufacture.
As both a decorative object and a symbolic piece, this Ox perfectly embodies the spirit of Baccarat’s Chinese zodiac-inspired series: refined creations, immediately legible, where symbolic tradition meets the excellence of French crystal. An ideal piece for a house enthusiast, a collector of animal subjects, or for a very high-quality gift rich in meaning.
Dimensions: Height 8 cm; Width 14.5 cm; Depth 8 cm.
Condition: Excellent, barely used, with only very minor signs of wear.
