Description from the seller

Heavy Mid-Century Crystal Vase by Daum France – Organic Freeform/Wave, circa 1960s

Up for sale is a stunning, organically free-form studio crystal vase from the world-famous French glassmaker Daum France of Nancy.

The piece dates from the Mid-Century era (approximately the 1950s to 1970s).

The vase is striking for its sculptural, flowing wave-like design that, depending on the lighting, creates fascinating light refractions.

Despite its compact height, it possesses extraordinary material density and a substantial weight of almost 1.5 kg, which attests to the exceptionally high quality of the lead crystal used.

On the lower outer rim lies the original handwritten incised diamond signature “Daum France” (see photos).
