ABOUT PRODUCTID 14461
This Royal Doulton crystal vase, produced in the UK during the 1980s, exemplifies the fusion of traditional glassmaking with late-modernist design language. Measuring 23 cm in height and 16 cm in width, the vase is crafted from 24% lead crystal, lending notable clarity and weight. The piece is entirely transparent with a cool undertone, characteristic of high-grade leaded glass. Absence of visible seams confirms hand finishing, particularly evident in the precisely ground rim and base. Deep intersecting arcs and geometric cuts decorate the body, introducing a rich play of reflections. Its classic silhouette—bulbous upper section tapering towards a robust, stable foot—confers both presence and harmony. The vase remains in very good original condition, showing only minimal, expected surface wear near the base from gentle prior use, with no chips or cracks. This vase tells the story of an era that valued the brilliance of traditional glass cutting alongside the assured restraint of late modernism. Light fractured through its faceted surface conjures images of 1980s interiors where chiaroscuro held new meaning. The crystal seems to whisper fragments of English heritage—Royal Doulton's legacy evident in every line, the material's transparency capturing ephemeral light as if suspending time. The vase can be paired with calm, understated interiors that evoke mid-century modern or classic settings with an Art Deco twist. It looks compelling arranged atop a veneered console or mirrored tray, filled with fresh flowers or standing alone as a glass sculpture. It will also suit more eclectic environments, where the crystal’s mass and luminous shadows create tension with soft textiles or matte ceramics. Combining it with chromed accents or minimalist frames can further highlight the graphical strength of its cut pattern.
