AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In an auction, a refined pair of decorative sculptures shaped like persimmons, made in fine heavy art glass with a vivid glossy orange coloration, beautifully embellished on the surface with elegant inclusions of gold leaf that cast warm reflections under light. The upper part is completed by a stylized stem in dark green solid glass, deftly formed by heating. The objects are presented in excellent condition, like new, free of chips or scratches, with a total weight of 1080 grams that attests to their excellent heft. From a manufacturing standpoint, they are contemporary glass art pieces, unsigned but of an excellent level of execution. Beyond their decorative value and aesthetic refinement, these fruits also hold a fascinating cultural meaning: in Asian tradition, the persimmon is considered a lucky amulet symbolizing prosperity, success in one’s ventures, and the wish that every desire may come true. Perfect as minimalist home decor elements, centerpieces, or exclusive collectible paperweights.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
