An exceptional and highly collectible modern art crystal spirit decanter from the renowned French crystal studio, Daum France. Known officially as the Carafe de Torques, this magnificent design features a heavy, flawless clear crystal moon-form flask body meticulously contoured with a weighted oval base that reflects light beautifully.
The crown jewel of this piece is its remarkable sculptural stopper, masterfully crafted using Daum's historic, labor-intensive Pate de Verre glass paste technique. The stopper depicts a highly detailed, frosted amber glass monkey dynamically clinging to a textured, brilliant gilt-bronze torque ring. The lower half of the crystal bottle features an elegant, subtle optical wave illusion blown into the glass, mimicking fluid movement.
The lower side wall of the crystal body features the authentic, beautifully clear hand-engraved signature reading: Daum France.
Please note that this model features the distinct, slender moon-form body rather than a circular ball profile, making it a sleek and architecturally dramatic accent for narrow mantels, sideboards, or luxury bar carousels.
