Description from the seller
Giverny Vase
Translucent Modernist Crystal
Baccarat France, designed by Robert Rigot, circa 1980
Short edition – Impeccable condition – French origin
At the heart of French modernism, where crystal transforms into ephemeral sculpture, the Giverny vase by Baccarat emerges as a hymn to the captivating flame, designed by visionary Robert Rigot during a fleeting edition that captured the flamboyant daring of the 1980s.
Made of translucent lead crystal of immaculate purity, its oblong and sculptural silhouette – with curved sides and stylized concave flutes reminiscent of dancing flames – diffuses light into an ethereal and hypnotic veil, transforming a simple bouquet into a fiery composition or a spatial void into a sanctuary of primordial clarity.
Hand-whipped in the Lorraine ovens with a dexterity that defies the inertia of matter, this vase transcends utility to become a talisman of elegant abstraction, ideal for a minimalist console or a contemporary altar, where each reflection whispers the poetry of tamed flames. Founded in 1764 by royal decree in Baccarat, Lorraine, the Manufacture stands as the pinnacle of French crystal, supplying the splendors of Versailles and the treasures of global avant-gardes, sovereign of lead glass and abyssal cuts that captivate the eye.
As the artistic advisor for Baccarat from 1966 to 1996, Robert Rigot imbued this Giverny series – inspired by Impressionist gardens and fluid organic shapes – with a limited production, reserved for prophetic collectors who cherish artisanal alchemy.
A symbol of flamboyant sophistication, this vase combines sinuous curves and infinite transparency in a requiem to the ephemeral, where ancestral heritage ignites with playful abstraction—a rarity for interiors that dare to dialogue between material and wonder.
Height: 17.5 cm; Length: 15 cm; Width: 7.5 cm.
An impeccable specimen in flawless condition, free of chips or restorations, marked 'Baccarat France' at the base's hollow, ready to radiate like a crystalline flame within everyday life.
A jewel for modernist design enthusiasts: exclusive, prismatic, mesmerizing. Let this Giverny transform your visions into infinite splendor.
