Lalique Vase Pivoines Vase Small Size

An alliance of brute force and delicacy, juxtaposition of the square shape with the curved lines of the carved motifs, the Pivoines vases and bowl embody a contrast of mineral strength and floral romance. Symbol of prosperity, beauty and honor, the peony is an emblematic flower, especially in China where it is often depicted. As if carved into the gouge of a rock, garlands of flowers take possession of the crystal, as lush nature takes its rightful place on abandoned buildings. Their modeling also evokes the Lost Wax sculpting process, when the craftsman breaks the plaster mold to reveal the piece.
