Description from the seller

Magnificent Sevres Crystal Vase, Signed.

This gorgeous vintage mid-century modernist crystal vase produced by the Cristallerie de Sèvres.q
Light seems to freeze within the thick walls of this Sèvres crystal, whose irregular facets evoke the raw power of a block of molten ice.
Molten matter petrified in free movement, this sculptural vase in solid high quality crystal captures the very essence of 1970s organic design. This Sèvres crystal vase is distinguished by the fluidity of its hollowed silhouette and its impressive thickness of material that traps light. A veritable block of crystal weighing almost 2 kg, it bears witness to an era when French art glassmakers explored free, biomorphic, and highly expressive forms.
Characterised by its thick, heavy art glass construction, organic free-form volutes, and dual pulled side arched handles, flanking a wasted neck beneath a rounded rim, this design is highly collected by fans of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) decorative arts.

The signature "Sèvres France" is engraved under the flat base of the object. It appears fine and legible in the light, attesting to its French origin and authenticity.
Only Authentic pieces typically feature an acid-etched signature or hallmark stamp reading "Sevres France" on the underside of the base.

Placed on a teak sideboard or entryway console, it captures every ray of light, transforming the atmosphere of a room into a suspended moment. This treasure embodies a discerning vision of 20th-century French design.

The clean, monumental aesthetic of this art glass harmonizes beautifully with noble materials such as dark wood, brass, or marble. In a classic setting, this vase provides a contemporary contrast ; in the heart of a 1970s vintage interior, it stands out as a centerpiece. Ideally, it would be displayed alone on a sideboard, console table, or coffee table, perhaps adorned with a single, graphic stem so as not to obscure its central hollow.

Dimensions:
Height: 15,2 cm
Diameter of upper edge: 13 cm
Depth: 13,8 cm
Weight: 1838 g

Attention to the details photographs.
Any defect not mentioned in the description but visible in the photos is considered as described and cannot give rise to any claim.
