Lalique Pivoines Centerpiece

A blend of brute strength and delicacy, juxtaposing the square form with the curved lines of the sculpted motifs, the Pivoines vases and bowl embody a contrast of mineral strength and floral romance. A symbol of prosperity, beauty, and honor, the peony is an emblematic flower, especially in China, where it is often depicted. As if carved from a rock, garlands of flowers take over the crystal, like lush nature taking its rightful place on abandoned buildings. Their modeling also evokes the Lost Wax sculpture process, when the artisan breaks the plaster mold to reveal the piece.
