Product description
Vintage French 1950s Vannes Crystal Teardrop Vase with Raised Spheres
by Art Vannes
France, 1950–1959
An exquisite example of mid-century French crystal design, this unusual teardrop vase by the esteemed Cristalleries de Vannes captures the timeless elegance and innovation of 1950s glassmaking. Crafted in substantial, clear French crystal, the vase features a striking flat, splayed rim—both sculptural and functional—creating a wide mouth ideal for floral arrangements while maintaining a commanding presence as a standalone decorative object.
What sets this piece apart is its constellation of raised spherical elements, a signature Art Vannes motif. These tactfully arranged spheres catch and refract light, animating the crystal with an almost kinetic shimmer. Both visually arresting and tactilely rich, the design plays with optical depth and clarity, allowing light to dance through the thick walls of the vessel.
Whether gracing a modernist console or a classical mantelpiece, this vase offers versatile elegance, seamlessly blending with contemporary or vintage interiors.
