Mid‑century modern sculptural vase model “Prisma Column” in heavy crystal, made in Italy by C.R.L Design Italia, dating to 1960–1970, 25 cm high, 7 cm wide, 9 cm deep, weighing 1.77 kg, in good used condition with signs of age and stains.
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.
