AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Let yourself be won over by the geometric purity and the stage presence of the sculptural vase model “Prisma Column,” marked by the original RCL brand.

A bold decorative piece that perfectly synthesizes the meeting of modernist rigor and the mastery of working with thick, monolithic lead crystal.

Cut from a single block of high-refractive crystal, the vase captures and decomposes light through its six faceted faces and the vertical arch-shaped grooves that reflect light along the entire column. The visual effect is hypnotic and highly impactful: the thick base and the heavy structure convey stability and timeless elegance.

Perfect both as a design centerpiece and as a decorative element to highlight on a console or inside an illuminated display case.

This is a must-have opportunity for lovers of vintage design and high-quality crystal.

The initials and the red-background octagonal seal identify the high-end production of specialized brands in lead crystal processing (over 24% PbO), guaranteeing extreme clarity, resonance, and brilliance when exposed to light.

The hexagonal sectional design and vertical arch-shaped hollows nod to architectural and sculptural currents of the 1970s, a period when crystal abandoned traditional classic cuts to embrace clean, monolithic, modern shapes.

Dimensions: approximately 25x7x9 cm
Weight: 1770 g
Good condition, shows notable signs of use and age; refer to the photo gallery.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
