AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spectacular and masterfully crafted Mid-Century Modern floor vase or centerpiece in solid, high-density art glass crystal, made by the renowned French glassworks Art Vannes France (Vannes-le-Châtel) during the 1950s / 1960s.
This piece, with its rare sculptural presence, features an organic silhouette inspired by the plant world, evoking a lily corolla or a stylized flower in full bloom, with six petals drawn out while hot. The exceptionally heavy, stable circular base gives the crystal the exceptional light refraction and clarity characteristic of Lorraine glassmaking.
• Manufacturer: Art Vannes France (Official original diamond-and-fir-tree acid-etched mark under the base).
• Period: Modernist period, circa 1950 / 1960.
• Material: Solid crystal, blown and drawn while hot.
• Dimensions: Impressive height of 33 cm | Maximum diameter at the neck: approx. 30 cm.
• Exceptional weight: 4.90 kg (high-density piece).
• Condition: Perfect collectible condition (Museum Quality). The crystal is absolutely transparent and brilliant, with no cloudiness, limescale haze, or signs of use. The beveled edges and tips of the upper petals are impeccable, with no chips or nicks. A pristine and splendid piece.
