Crafted in Slovenia from substantial lead crystal, this form is defined by its deeply carved vertical facets and dramatic, crown-like rim—designed to refract light with exceptional brilliance. At over 7 pounds, the weight alone distinguishes it from mass-market glass, giving it the presence and permanence collectors and designers look for.

Unlike more common Mikasa forms, the Ice Palace pattern has become increasingly difficult to source in larger centerpiece sizes, especially in this condition. Its architectural silhouette and optical clarity make it highly desirable for interior designers seeking statement objects that elevate a space without overwhelming it.

This piece reads beautifully in multiple settings:
• As a gallery-style pedestal object
• Anchoring a coffee table or console vignette
• As a minimalist centerpiece with or without florals

The interplay of light, shadow, and cut crystal creates a dynamic visual effect that changes throughout the day—an understated luxury detail rarely found at this price point.

• Pattern: Ice Palace
• Origin: Slovenia

Collector Positioning Angle (subtle but powerful)
