This substantial vintage vase features a dramatic, organically flared rim reminiscent of unfolding flower petals, complemented by deeply sculpted vertical contours that flow gracefully into a distinctive four-lobed base.
Crafted from exceptionally thick, clear crystal, the vase beautifully captures and refracts light, creating striking reflections and a wonderful sense of movement. Its impressive weight of approximately 10 pounds further emphasises its substantial construction.
The elegant combination of fluid curves, architectural lines and brilliant transparent crystal reflects the sculptural aesthetic associated with French mid-century modern glass design.
Equally captivating displayed as a standalone decorative sculpture or filled with an arrangement of fresh flowers, this magnificent piece makes an elegant centrepiece for a dining table, console or sophisticated living space.
The vase bears an etched Daum signature near the base.
