ABOUT PRODUCTID 14666
This crystal vase by Art Vannes, France, exemplifies mid-century modern artistry from the 1970s. Crafted from transparent lead crystal glass (24% PbO), it features a striking, organic silhouette defined by undulating, fluid lines and an asymmetrical, subtly wavy rim. The surface is smooth and glossy while the body thickens towards the base, lending both visual heft and stable grounding. Every element is formed from a single piece of glass – there are no metal fittings, handles, or extra embellishments. The base is signed “ART VANNES France.” Dimensions: height 20 cm, width 16 cm, base diameter 6.5 cm, rim diameter 10 cm. The vase remains in very good original condition, with fine wear scratches on the base typical of authentic vintage use but no chips, cracks, or repairs. The vase reads like movement captured in glass—a narrative of French 1970s design where sculptural dynamism and experiments with organic form were tools for exploring modernity. The crystal refracts and concentrates light, with each wave-like edge and asymmetrical curve evoking a conversation with nature and an attempt to crystallize its fleeting essence. There is a quiet sense of the era here, a time when everyday objects often embodied the character of small-scale sculpture through understated, yet confident forms. For interior composition, the vase could stand alone on a low exotic wood console, where its silhouette and clarity would be enhanced by natural daylight. It pairs gracefully with muted artworks or canvases featuring organic motifs and complements modernist lighting or geometric decorations of metal and ceramics. Its decorative strength comes alive in mid-century modern settings or contemporary vintage-inspired spaces; the form is also suited to minimalist floral arrangements—single branches or sculptural greenery will highlight the artistry and sculptural presence of this vessel.
